In case you’d like to read my edits of the above books, available online for free from crimethinc, they’re now in the Resources/Non-fiction Books section of the drop-down menu at the top of the page (book titles listed alphabetically). From “Democracy” to Freedom gives the anarchist view of representative and “direct” democracy, showing how these forms of government always end up dominated by minority elites, and No Borders explains borders and migration, especially from Mexico and Central America, better than anything else I’ve read (the author worked on this border for years, helping migrants stranded in the desert).

I edit books and articles as I read or reread them for simplification, conciseness, and clarity, occasionally adding my own comments. I do this without permission or copyright in the spirit of free access to ideas and information, because I believe that for many reading the originals may be so difficult and time-consuming that they won’t persist to the end. Feel free to go to the originals, if you prefer.
