Yeah, I remember parecon. Every worker has two jobs, which are balanced so that if you *really* want to be, say, the director, you only get to do that half the time, and the other half is the very worst job in that workplace. Probably customer service, lol

Money doesn't circulate. You get paid, and then you spend your money, and the expense goes into the books of wherever you spent it, but they don't get "revenue". Basically, every workplace is also a tiny, tiny treasury that mints the same currency for its own workers, in amounts negotiated with the consumer councils. Though actually this system was conceived in the 2000s on the substantially accurate assumption that we wouldn't need to use paper money

Businesses don't own anything, though. If they need the use of a factory, they have to negotiate that with every other business that needs that same factory, and any nearby citizen's councils, for that year and only that year
