Luke Kemp rejoins me to discuss the second part of Goliath's Curse, "Imperial March and Fall." Luke and I start off talking about why empires and states are actually the same thing, and move from there to various ways that people justify imperial politics, what it's like to be anti-empire when surrounded by defenders of empire, and how we can try to get the machine of empire to stop.Here's the link to buy the book: https://flyleafbooks.com/book/9780593321355And here are Luke's previous appearances on the podcast:https://www.everydayanarchism.com/166-goliaths-curse-luke-kemp/https://www.everydayanarchism.com/146-james-c-scotts-two-cheers-for-anarchism-luke-kemp/https://player.captivate.fm/episode/2c8105f0-611f-4545-b632-e868e5039840/

How do you know your life is worthwhile? How do you connect to the world around you? What sort of life is worth living?In her new book, Transcendence for Beginners, the philosopher and biographer Clare Carlisle works through answers to these questions, answers inspired by the philosopher Spinoza and the novelist George Eliot. And those answers, rather than pointing to something beyond, point us to transcendence in the here and now. Plus we talk about tradwives.Here's the link to the book at the publisher's website: https://www.nyrb.com/products/transcendence-for-beginners
Eric Blair, known as George Orwell, had all of his successes after he met and married Eileen O'Shaughnessy. The graphic novel Mrs. Orwell, written by Andrea Chalupa, is the story of how George Orwell became a couple, and helps re-introduce Eileen to history as the dynamic, radical activist and editor who has been left out of the Orwell story.You can get a copy of the book here: https://flyleafbooks.com/book/9781250877857
Joan Slonczewski joins me to discuss their novel A Door Into Ocean, a science fiction novel about an all-female society of "sharers" on an ocean planet, Shora. Joan's sharers are one of the best speculative depictions of what an anarchist society would look like, so Joan and I discuss the inspirations for the world, including Gene Sharp, Ursula Le Guin, and Gandhi, and what we can draw on from those figures in our current struggles.You can find Joan at https://biology.kenyon.edu/slonc/slonc.htmBuy the book: https://flyleafbooks.com/book/9780312876524
Amit Chaudhuri joins me to discuss his new collection of essays, Incompleteness. In these essays and his novels, Amit is constantly searching for new language that will acknowledge the instability and flux of the world around us. It is intellectual anarchy of the highest order, as well as artistically breathtaking.You can find all of Amit's books published by NYRB here: https://www.nyrb.com/collections/amit-chaudhuri

The core idea of this podcast comes from David Graeber, who wrote that our everyday life is mostly run on anarchism, and at the same time people believe that anarchism doesn’t work. One of these is wrong. I hope to illuminate how our communities already depend on Mutual Aid, in big and small ways. I'll do that by excavating the historical events and cultural trends you already know about, but have never thought about in terms of anarchism.Find me at https://www.everydayanarchism.com
