Great introductory site. Contains numerous Michael Albert and Robin Hahnel texts explaining the basic tenets of ParEcon (see “ Introductory Materials ”). Most likely the first place to go. “ Doing ParEcon ” has a couple of real world examples, and " parecon in-depth " has great set of articles.
Michale Albert, Robin Hahnel, Tom Wetzel, Paul burrows. See the numerous essay on this website for further theorists.

parecon.org is a virtual clearinghouse and think tank for alternative economic schemes, but this website provides examples of 'real world' parecon successes.
The Participatory Economics Project is a campaign to promote critical and creative thought on economic issues and vision. While at present the project's contents are largely authored by two people, Michael Albert and Robin Hahnel, it is our hope that more people will contribute to diverse aspects of the parecon vision, and that this site will in time reflect those additional voices. (from "About this site")
Participatory Economics (parecon for short) is a type of economy proposed as an alternative to contemporary capitalism. The underlying values parecon seeks to implement are equity, solidarity, diversity, and participatory self management.
The main institutions to attain these ends are workers and consumers councils utilizing self management decision making methods, balanced job complexes, remuneration according to effort and sacrifice, and participatory planning. (" about parecon.org " from parecon.org website)
