This is quite an intriguing blog and I have added it to my daily readings, especially as a complement to C4SS, a site that I think needs more of this market-critical perspective. After all, libertarians, once synonymous with anarchists, are (supposedly) not beholden in theory to any institution for its own sake. That approach would lead to favor the ‘equilibrium’ you speak of, the equilibrium so beloved by most libertarians, and one that leads to market fundamentalism and backdoor neoliberalism in practice.

As the market is a process which is not shy of creating many institutions, either through the cash nexus or otherwise, I am intrigued by your approach to polymacroeconomy as a theory. If I understand it right this would make the free market only one economy of many. I like to think of social anarchists as favoring sovereignty among economies, an interesting alternative to market anarchists favoring of sovereignty among communities. What I mean by that is that I understand most market anarchists to endorse one macroeconomy, the so-called ‘freed market’, and favoring free interaction among polities and collectivities inside that macroeconomy. In other words, the market anarchists want society to be able to set up their own grid apart from the Dominant Grid enforced by the State and capitalism. In contrast, the social anarchists want to do away with all Grids entirely, or at least a society where Grids can be shut on and off or swapped in as fluid a way as possible. I believe such a setup strongly requires a widespread nexus of communal property and a stable occupy/use infrastructure as a regulatory check on the possible rise of private economic power dynamics.

But still, this is only theory. This I’m afraid may lead to a fundamental disagreement among both market and social anarchists at first, but I believe it can be overcome, but only through the exploration and establishment of social anarchist economic activity as described above, sovereignty among economies. How that comes about would on the surface resemble the agorism you write about, but I believe the answer lies within the continued spread of antiestablishment communal property and a decentralized planned economy where the ends is not simply ‘voluntarism’ for economic actors, but something akin to a ‘vanguard with peer-review’. Sorry to sound a little Marxoid there. Anyway, hope you enjoyed this long, winding ramble of mine.
