Mitchell and Antti talk with Sean Michael Wilson about his graphic novel about a Participatory Economy, called “PareComic: The Story of Michael Albert and Participatory Economics”. 2023 marks the 10th anniversary of PareComic. What inspired him to write it? How has it faired? And what have been people’s reactions to it?
Introduction by Noam Chomsky:
“Parecomic is a graphic novel about something that affects us all: the system we live in—what’s wrong with it, and how we might be able change it for the better. Written by Sean Michael Wilson, and drawn by Carl Thompson, Parecomic is about Michael Albert—the visionary behind “participatory economics”—and his life’s struggle as a left-wing activist in the US.”
