This zine was added to our catalog more than 5 years ago. You may want to verify information contained within is still relevant.
This zine is a reprint of a piece by Crimethinc that explains what a “Really, Really Free Market” is and how to organize one. It’s a good introduction to the essentially free flea markets called “Really Really Free Markets” and how they can potentially be used to spread anarchist/anti-capitalist ideas. The guide is very comprehensive, covering everything from advertising to potential drawbacks.
