Eat The Rich And Other Interesting Ideas
Peter Werbe has been an important voice on the Detroit-based Fifth Estate magazine for decades. This collection of over 40 essays from his writings for the magazine provide unique and often humorous insights into: anarchism, capitalism, technology, civilization, racism, patriarchy, politics, culture, music, the environment, his trips to Cuba, and other subjects in a readable and highly entertaining manner.
Not only are the essays and reviews in this collection incisive, highly readable, and liberatory, but Eat the Rich reminds the reader of the wisdom that comes with a lifetime commitment to social transformation, countering the cynical notion that political maturity must lead to centrism.

How does Peter Werbe spell relief? R-E-V-O-L-T! And, he spells out just how that works in these 40-plus essays. Werbe’s decades of writing, organizing, and agitating, have produced a wealth of political and cultural observations distilled into one volume for your enlightenment and entertainment (because he’s often very funny).
