For our fourteenth reading group we will be reading Anarchy Works by Peter Gelderloos. From the blurb:
Anarchy Works takes examples from around the world, combing through history and anthropology, showing that people have, in different ways and at different times, practiced mutual aid, self-organization, autonomy, horizontal decision-making: all the principles that anarchy is founded on, regardless of whether they call themselves anarchists. Well documented and expansive, this book is an inspiring answer to those who would say that anarchism is unrealistic, that it sounds nice but it couldn’t actually work. This point-by-point introduction shows that it already has.
A free version of Anarchy Works can be found on The Anarchist Library here and our friends at Freedom Press here have offered a 10% discount on physical copies for the reading group. Just quote “London SolFed Reading Group” or pop into Freedom for your general radical book buying needs.
The reading group will be meeting on Tuesday the 30th of September, 19:00, at Freedom Bookshop, 84b Whitechapel High St, London E1 7QX. You are welcome to come and join in the discussion even if you have not finished the reading or are jumping in half way through the book.
