Great, now I can buy it and glue myself to an armchair
Comrade 2020-12-21 (Mon) 05:21:37 No. 1529
Holy shit this is great news, I don't have to learn Italian specifically for Bordiga anymore!
Comrade 2020-12-21 (Mon) 05:21:37 No. 1530
Be heroes and scan these if you buy them, they'd already be public domain anyways.
Comrade 2020-12-21 (Mon) 05:21:37 No. 1531
>>1529 Italian Marxism has been getting a lot of attention in the English-speaking part of the world in recent years; it's quite nice.
>>1530 Why scan when you could just pool the money to get the pdf? I mean it's brill so it's not gonna be a print replica, but still.

>>1519 >175€ holy shit, I could afford it but I'm not willing to pay this much for a fucking book
Comrade 2020-12-21 (Mon) 05:21:37 No. 1535
>>1532 Academic publishers' rent-seeking ought to be dismantled, for real; I'll just make a request on aaaaarg. Having Bordiga's works read like they're not machine translated should be worth the price to somebody.
Comrade 2020-12-21 (Mon) 05:21:37 No. 1536
>>1519 Based. My armchair will finally be used for its intended purpose.
Comrade 2020-12-21 (Mon) 05:21:38 No. 1540
>>1535 The economics of academic publishing is interesting because it's a sort of weirdly stealth-communist affair - the writers are paid almost entirely in prestige, and nobody pays for it other than university libraries. So you could *arguably* say that it's a form of public goods provision by bloated university endowments, just implemented in an incredibly dumb way.
Comrade 2020-12-21 (Mon) 05:22:47 No. 2239
>>1519 it's out now; hopefully someone will rip the pdf soon
Comrade 2020-12-21 (Mon) 05:22:48 No. 2258
Not a leftcom, but Bordiga is such a fun read that I'll be very glad to revisit his works without having to stare at a computer screen.
Comrade 2020-12-21 (Mon) 05:22:49 No. 2262
what the hell
Comrade 2020-12-21 (Mon) 05:22:49 No. 2265
>>2239 hmm weird; looks like the pdf is still listed as "not yet available for purchase"
Comrade 2020-12-21 (Mon) 05:22:52 No. 2305

>>2501 Nice! You're the real MVP
Comrade 2020-12-21 (Mon) 05:23:13 No. 2517
>>2502 No; unfortunately Brill only ever distributes pdfs from the looks of it.
Comrade 2020-12-21 (Mon) 05:23:13 No. 2518

Comrade 2020-12-21 (Mon) 05:23:54 No. 2904
