How many market anarchists does it take to change a lightbulb?

In a freed market, without patent restrictions, government electrical cartels, or state capitalist infrastructure subsidies, the lightbulbs would be free to organize and change themselves.

Shameless Self-promotion Sunday

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven. A time to be born; a time to die. A time to laugh; a time to weep. A time to be Shameless, and a time to refrain from Shamelessness.

This is Sunday, so there will be no refraineration in this blogerie. You know what to do. What have you been up to this week? Write anything? Leave a link and a short description for your post in the comments. Or fire away about anything else you might want to talk about.

A Sunday of Shamelessness

Stop.

Everybody get Shameless.

This weekend, I’ve been splitting my time between some odd web dev jobs, a trip to-day over to the Living Without Borders encuentro to catch as much of it as I can (which is not as much as I’d like), and, other than that, a lot of time with the printed — or printing — word. I’ve been preparing a large print run of Market Anarchy zines for Lawrence’s own Pickles Not Pipe Bombs (I took the opportunity to re-typeset the innards of the pamphlet, and to design a new cover at Chris’s request); also, doing some editing work on Markets Not Capitalism; and the regular round of transcriptions for the Fair Use Repository — most recently, this hot little number by Jo Labadie from the February 23, 1895 issue of Liberty. In between, I took some time out to catch up a bit on some Oliver Sacks (rereading the opening essays on Dr. P and Jimmie G.).

And you? What have you been up to this week? Write anything? Leave a link and a short description for your post in the comments. Or fire away about anything else you might want to talk about.

Sentences I didn’t expect to read when I woke up this morning.

They include:

My alleged defects are an interest in the work of Kevin Carson and the other mutualist libertarians, and accusations that I am a national socialist.
