Hi. I just want to post here an parecon app that was developped by Jason Chrysostomou and Mitchell Szczepanczyk in 2017. It’s presented in the german book Anarchistische Gesellschaftsentwürfe by Thomas Stölner, Uwe H. Bittlingmayer, Gözde Okcu.
The app is run by using the meteor framework https://www.meteor.com. The sourcode on the github page is:
This prototype has three goods (beer, bread and pizza), two ingredients (wheat and labour hours) and three consumer councils and one worker council.
In the app you need to determine:
1. How many hours would you like to work?
2. Which of the three recipes would you like to apply in your workplace? (High effort, low resources; medium effort, medium resources; or low effort, high resources).
3. How many pizzas would you like to consume?
4. How many beers would you like to consume?
5. How many loaves of bread would you like to consume?
A feasible plan is reached when:
1. The supply of all consumable goods (pizza, beer, bread) is equal to or greater than the demand.
2. All city districts have sufficient funds to purchase the goods they require at the current price.
3. The total supply and total demand for all consumer goods (pizza, beer, bread) differ by no more than 10%.
4. All workplaces have a supply/demand ratio greater than one.
The adjustment rule is:
The price adjustment rule used by the website is:
W = V(1.05 - 0.5V) where W = percentage change in the price of a good in the next iteration and V = percentage surplus supply for that good in the current iteration, except if V > 0.25, then the new adjustment value is set to W = 0.25.
(I translated parts of the chapter in the book. If you have questions, I’am happy to post longer translated parts, which explains more details)
Maybe someone who has knowledge of this framework and can developp it further.
