Talk:Participatory economics

Improvements still needed

I see a lot of room for improvements here. The article could be organised better, made more consistent and more informative, and some parts clearly do not meet usual wikipedia standards. The topic heading "Critique of tendency towards efficiency" does not seem to have anything to do with the subsequent text and should probably say "Critique of innovation under capitalism". The criticisms section has problems in both directions. One the one hand there are unsupported claims with no citations, such that Parecon needs a new bureaucratic class (which flatly contradicts earlier parts of the article), and on the other they are more several more criticisms out there (and responses) which pass the bar as reasonable sources. Also there is no section on where this model comes from historically (which probably reflect how its originators and advocates choose to present it but has nothing to do with how an encyclopedia article should look). If there are no objections I will attempts some major edits to make the article more internally consistent and informative. Finally there are many, many places in this talk section where people grossly violate the guidelines at the top of wikipedia talk pages. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject. Assume good faith and don't be personally insulting (including being snide and snippy, which serves no purpose whatsoever). I want to ask that people take care stick to these guidelines in any further discussion. EveningTide (talk) 16:57, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
