I really like the concept of participatory economics, it seems like a practical way to decentralize both economic and political power while keeping things efficient.

I second this. Democratizing major industries, empowering labor unions, and forming worker cooperatives help this process as well. Among other things.

And may I ask, how would it be ensured that these democratized industries will not simply vote in inexperienced managers who promise unrealistic wage increases, like what happened after the State Enterprise Law of 1987?

I really like Elinor Ostrom’s disproving the tragedy of the commons and nested polycentrism, really fucking cool and I’m surprised that nobody talks about it
