Introduction to Agorism - 2 Presentations (with slides): https://paper.wf/crypto-agorism/introduction-to-crypto-agorism-2-presentati… Agorism – also known as Second Realms, informal economy, parallel economy, and black and gray markets – is a peaceful, voluntary and humanitarian strategy that helps people to access necessities like jobs, housing, healthcare, education, mail, communications and more without state permission. Agorism is individualist, meritocratic and creates equal opportunities, where the individual's beliefs, effort and skills matter more than arbitrary circumstances of birth, unjust governments or any other form of discrimination or coercion.
