About This Book

The author surveys the intellectual origins and development of anarchist thought, tracing its main doctrines, leading theorists, and propaganda while distinguishing anarchism from socialism and other radical movements. He reviews economic and political ideas such as theories of property, collectivism, and mutualism, examines attempts to realize anarchist programs in practice, and criticizes contemporary literature and scholarship for ignorance and prejudice. Working from available primary pamphlets and doctrinaire writings, he adopts a scientific, critical stance to assess whether anarchist views merit serious debate and concludes with a reasoned critique grounded in historical and doctrinal analysis.
