The Australian Chokepoint Capitalism Tour

Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra (twice!).

Last October, Scribe Books published the commonwealth edition of Chokepoint Capitalism, the book Rebecca Giblin and I wrote about how monopolistic labour markets are rigged, and how we need to think beyond copyright to get artists paid:

Now, I’m headed to Australia to tour the book there with Rebecca, with dates in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra (no Perth or NZ this time, alas). It’s my first time back to Oz since the Walkaway tour in 2017 — the tour where Rebecca and I conceived of this book, as it happens!

First up is Brisbane, with a talk and signing at Avid Books on Feb 8 at 6PM, hosted by The Griffith Review’s Carody Culver:
