I interviewed Michael Albert this week.Here is a sample...
Would it be easier for a parecon system to start in a large or small state or would there be no fundamental difference?
There are many variables. If you say everything else is the same and just size differs still, it could go either way. A small state might well be easier and quicker to develop powerful movements and make the change. However it is also true that a small state would be easier of other states such as my own U.S. to subject to pressures, economic or military, preventing or overthrowing such gains. I don't think it is possible to answer in general.
I would say, however, it is probably quite a bit easier to develop a nationally powerful movement in a small state, with not too much cultural variation, than in a huge one like, say, the U.S.
