In Defense of Anagorism

political economy in the non-market, non-state sector

Share a fear that you’re working to overcome.

I’ll share several:

  • The fear of being proven wrong. This, of course, is the motivation behind my creation of the present blog. Intellectually, I know I’m wrong. This is my act of defiance in the face of even that.
  • The fear of the marketplace. Anagorism is just a fig-leaf term for agoraphobia. Hiding psychology behind philosophy much?
  • The fear of failure. What is the market ideology if not a celebration of the freedom to fail?
  • The fear of success. For the usual reason. Fearing that I could forget where I came from, so to speak, and start holding people like my present self in contempt.
