There were things in this book that were really insightful, however, I did have issue with the lack of sources as well as the fact that the author was very fixated on the binary that charity is bad and mutual aid is good. I think in reality, even the author didn't seem to have a clear distinction between mutual aid and a non profit that was run well. 

It also felt like the first half functioned a lot on theory, which is fine, but I thought come the second half we would get more concrete examples of this playing out in the real world, but it read way more as a self-help book (eg avoiding burnout). 

**also docked points for the ebook format. There was a section totally unreadable due to the table overlapping several pages of the book. And with how many tables there were in this book, you'd think we wouldn't have that issue.
