Men Against the State - The Expositors of Individualist Anarchism 1827-1908

MEN AGAINST THE STATE is a classic text, decades out of print, that traces the development of individualist anarchism in America from the early experiments in mutualism of Josiah Warren, to the development of philosophical egoism particularly emphasizing early advocates of money and land reform, to the writings of Lysander Spooner and other abolitionist anarchists, to the writings of Benjamin Tucker in his journal Liberty. Considered by many THE definitive summary of the homegrown American Anarchist tradition, James J. Martin's book made waves when it was released and helped root the resurgent anarchist and libertarian tendencies.
