- Summary:
- Whilst conventional outlaws used bows, arrows, and bullets to rob the rich to help the poor, St Yves challenged poverty and social inequality via argument, debate, reason and consensus. The author explains why he deserves to be better known, including for the values of decency, integrity and ethics that his approach to resolving conflict imparts.
