Summary:

"To what degree can anarchism be an effective organized movement? 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 given perhaps 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."--BOOK JACKET.
