More reading from Markets Not Capitalism

Well we read some from Markets Not Capitalism, but there was a burning desire to know WHAT IS TO BE DONE! What do these Market Anarchists think they are going to do?

With all this burning sensation somehow we decided to read more of the same. So we will be reading Part 8 of the same book. The last section sounded like it had a bit more prescriptive ideas so that is what we are reading for February 9th.

Markets Not Capitalism
Part 8
Freed-Market Regulation: Social Activism and Spontaneous Order
pages 385 to 424

Markets Not Capitalism

There may be construction at Monkey Wrench through the end of the month in which case we will meet at Flightpath Coffee or somewhere similar. Updates to come.

For January 26th we will be reading from Markets Not Capitalism: individualist anarchism against bosses, inequality, corporate power, and structural poverty. We’ll be concentrating on Part Two which is pages 83 to 154. The articles are from modern and classical anarchists. Included are articles by Voltarine de Cleyre and Benjamin Tucker and some other weirdos.

Part Two (pages 83 – 154)
