After working ten years in the business world as a financial manager and business controller I came across some books by Noam Chomsky and later on Michael Albert/Robin Hahnel. I became aware of the horrible effects of our present capitalistic society.I quit my job, changed sides and joined the swedish syndicalist union SAC in 2002 with the intention to work for a different type of society. For the next five years I worked in several different positions within the organisation and in the SAC owned businesses. I left SAC in 2007 and I am currently running a small accounting firm. I am a strong supporter of the Parecon model.
