Summary:

Frank Mintz's classic study of collectivisation and economic experimentation during the Spanish revolution is available here for the first time in English. This is the chronicle of the anarcho-syndicalists of Spain, who-with and without the help of their own organizations-fought and built a new world alongside everyday labourers in the chaos of revolution and Franco's fascist coup. Participants in rural and industrial collectives totaled over 1,800,000-within an overall population of 6,000,000 in Republican Spain. Their experience as the backbone of revolution resonates still in today's global anticapitalist movements. Book jacket.
