Hey DC! There's gonna be a *very special* invite-only book party for "Chokepoint Capitalism" on Nov 17; it's going to be a gathering of a lot of DC trustbuster types and while it's not *technically* a public event, there are a limited number of free spaces that the organizers have asked me to distribute on a first come/first serve basis. If you'd like to come and you're free on the night of the 17th, please let me know (reply to this email) and I'll get you an invite!
