Is it realistic to think of anarchist ideas ever forming the basis for social life itself? These questions are widely being asked again today in response to the forces of economic globalization. The framework for such discussions was perhaps given its most memorable shape, however, in George Woodcock's classic study of anarchism - now widely recognized as the most significant twentieth-century overview of the subject. Woodcock surveys all of the major figures that shaped anarchist thought, from Godwin and Proudhon to Bakunin, Goldman, and Kropotkin, and looks as well at the long-term prospects for anarchism and anarchist thought. In Woodcock's view \"pure\" anarchism - characterized by \"the loose and flexible affinity group which needs no formal organization\" - was incompatible with mass movements that require stable organizations, that are forced to make compromises in the face of changing circumstances, and that need to maintain the allegiance of a wide range of supporters. Yet Woodcock continued to cherish anarchist ideals; as he said in a 1990 interview, \"I think anarchism and its teachings of decentralization, of the coordination of rural and industrial societies, and of mutual aid as the foundation of any viable society, have lessons that in the present are especially applicable to industrial societies.\" This classic work of intellectual history and political theory (first published in the 1960s, revised in 1986) is now available exclusively from Broadview Press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/george-woodcock-books\"\u003eGeorge Woodcock\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Penguin UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780140226973\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin UK","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £8.50","offer_id":47909212848305,"sku":"SB-0140226974-C3","price":8.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0140226974.jpg?v=1789708929"},{"product_id":"the-century-that-made-us-canada-1814-1914","title":"The Century That Made Us: Canada, 1814-1914","description":"\u003cp\u003eA highly readable, informal study, this book explores the changing attitudes of Canadians that accompanied the many political, social, and technological developments in the hundred years between the War of 1812-14 and World War I.
