Book Synopsis
The central claim of anarchism is that government must be replaced by a stateless society of strongly independent persons who are strongly bound together in a group. The main purpose of this 1980 book is to vindicate this argument as presented by leading anarchists: William Godwin, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Michael Bakunin and Peter Kropotkin.
