Agorist Wally Conger informs us that to “make it” in internet marketing (spam?), or marketing in general requires big brass balls.

What are the defining characteristics of a market? The pro-market left libertarians stress the difference between actually existing economics (and the accompanying establishment understanding of what “free market” means) and what they term “freed markets.” I’d like to put some attention on the boundaries between market and non-market, to get an understanding of what the…

Perhaps the main project of this blog is to put non-market anarchism on a solid theoretical footing. While I’m excited to find that many people envision the supplanting of the exchange paradigm by the gift paradigm, there seems to be no underlying theory that hopelessly left-brained me can latch onto. Also, the implementation doesn’t seem…

I find it hard to imagine a situation in which all real needs can be satisfied without any work being performed by people. I find it equally hard to believe that we will ever see full employment; understood to mean enough jobs to go around. Automation is real, and it’s inconceivable to me that the…

John J. Alquist informs us that “the Industrial Revolution is dead and the 20th Century is ancient history. These changes spawn a whole new world of nearly universal self-employment, serving global markets.” Alquist is a public speaker who seeks a variety of audiences, including network marketing/MLM groups, among others. Perhaps universal self employment is, among…

The proprietor of the The Left Libertarian channel at YouTube tells us: I should also say that I have nothing to do with The Alliance of the Libertarian Left, which is a centrist libertarian platform. My videos promote the 3 schools of Left-Libertarianism: Libcom, Collectivism, and Mutualism. On the one hand, they distance themselves from…

Looks like someone invented picoeconomics. Based on the name alone, it sounds like a very nice idea, sort of like ramen profitability only better. At least one of the complaints I have with Economics As We Know It is lack of scalability. In Earth’s high rent district (a.k.a. the “first world”) there’s a level of…

“Salescritter” is both more gender inclusive and more species inclusive than “salesman.” And no more syllables than “salesperson.” Some products and services have what I call a high “salescrittership quotient.” These are the ones that naturally adjoin to the word “salesman:” vacuum cleaner, encyclopedia, used car, insurance… Used cars merit particular attention as they are…

Is it the case that involunary dissociation is the flip side of voluntary association? What if we did it the other way around and practiced involuntary association and voluntary dissociation? Would that be so horrible? It would seem to me about equally horrible. Thick voluntarism without compromise, if it existed, would imply voluntary association and…
