The best website introductions to Agorism can be found on Wikipedia and also at www.agorism.info as well as www.agorism.org - all presenting very good explanations. For more detail though you need to acquire Samuel Edward Konkin's 'The New Libertarian Manifesto' and 'An Agorist Primer' - both available cheaply from Amazon ( his more comprehensive work, 'Counter Economics' will be published posthumously in the near future ).
For fictional presentation there is no better work than 'Alongside Night' - an award-winning science-fiction novel by the Agorist J. Neil Schulman. Fellow Agorist and sci-fi writer Victor Koman's work is also worth checking out ( I'd recommend 'Kings of the High Frontier'! ).
( Ps. For something 'visual' get hold of a box set of Joss Whedon's brilliant series 'Firefly' - either deliberately or not a brilliant exposition of the flavour of Agorism, right down to Counter-Economics - tragically curtailed at the end of it's first series... ).

Hey Scottie the Monk,
ReplyDeleteI've ventured further into investigating Agorist ideas. Konkin's manifesto seemed rather Russian Revolution meets Wolfie Smith. Yeah I have more time to let things sit for a while, although I feel theory in this case is somehow workable, a philosophy which could be a springboard for the main parties in this country to adopt, and certain points raised in Agorism like self government,less interference from politians.could register. Like Green policies that feature in all of the main parties manifestos now.I do express some concern for a viable and solid working procedure as such a shift in consciousness of mass numbers of people
and economic necessity are tall mountains to overcome. Ritchie
