A day of workshops, presentations, and panel discussions featuring anarchist writers, activists, and artists. This year, the NYC Anarchist Bookfair is especially celebrating the lives of anarchists in prison and struggle. Panels, workshops, and presentations are built around the concept of Zero Money = Live in Mutual Aid. How does money work from a macroeconomic perspective, and what we can do to destroy it? How can we imagine a different monetary system when money is often a tool of coercion, competition, and power? Should we destroy conceptions of value, quantification, or money completely? How can we cultivate opportunities for communities to experiment with different kinds of non-hierarchical, horizontal, and decentralized modes of economic cooperation? What would an anarchist economic structure and egalitarian economy look like? What role do mutual aid, mutual benefits, and welfare arrangements play in such an economy?
