Robin Hahnel

Robin Hahnel is an American economist and political activist known for his work on alternative economic systems and participatory economics, which he co-developed with Michael Albert. Hahnel advocates for a model that emphasizes democracy in the economy, where individuals participate in decision-making processes regarding production, consumption, and resource distribution. He argues for systems that prioritize equity, sustainability, and cooperation over profit maximization. Hahnel’s ideas challenge traditional capitalist structures, proposing a vision of an economy that is more just and responsive to the needs of all members of society.
