While on the phone with Chandra the other day, I was suddenly reminded of the fact that there is an expanded 2nd edition of my Free Your Mind: A Beginner’s Guide to Political Economy. This was written in Mangalore in 2004, and Sudha Shenoy helped me a lot with many worthwhile comments. Of course, it was never published because my Mangalore adventure was interrupted by the police; but, some years later, London’s International Policy Network published this 2nd edition in a CD titled Ideas For A Free Society that was distributed all over the world, especially the Third World.
Chandra informed me that Free Your Mind (first edition) is now out of print, so I found my copy of the IPN CD and e-mailed him the relevant file, hoping he will be able to find a publisher.
While reading review comments from eminent people at the end of the book, I was also reminded of another short book I had written then, as an accompaniment to Free Your Mind.
This was titled Free Your Life: A Citizen’s Guide to Justice & the Law. I found this too quite easily, and both these are now available as free downloads on this blog.
I have kept both editions of Free Your Mind available. The first is better suited for schoolchildren, around the age of 15. The second is for the college-going, and adults. I hope you find these useful knowledge.
Free Your Mind 2nd edition is available here.
Free Your Life, here.
Both are also permanently featured on the right-hand bar, along with all the other free downloads.
While you are looking for a publisher, you could try POD. There's one such company in Goa.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these.
ReplyDeleteMaybe some day you'll tell us about your Manglore adventures and the police interruptions?
