Among the political ideologies generally considered to be of
continuing significance, anarchism alone has never been
implemented. Perhaps its rigors are too strong and its advocates
are too weak. That it is still considered worth studying is
testimony to its intellectual credibility, particularly its
single-minded emphasis on individual liberty. Obsession with
liberty and skepticism of government are as alive today as they
were in the nineteenth century. This book offers a comprehensive
introduction to anarchism in the United States, revealing its
historical roots and relevance to today's problems. The
relationship between anarchy and individualism in the nineteenth
century is well known. How this affected the larger system is what
the bulk of the anthology is about.Liberty was a magazine featuring
some of the outstanding anarchist thinkers in America at the turn
of the century. This anthology offers a selection of writings
spanning the magazine's twenty-seven year life and features some of
its major writers: Benjamin Tucker, Victor Yarros, Steven Byington,
John Beverley Robinson, and Gertrude Kelly. The chapters are
divided into four sections: political theory, economic theories and
reforms, social implications, and strategies of individualist
anarchism. The authors criticize censorship, state support of
patriarchal marriage, and the general invasion of privacy. Though
quite radical, the writers were not revolutionaries in a
conventional sense; they emphasized passive resistance, rather than
violent assault, as proper.The Individualist Anarchists is not
merely of historical Interest, but offers a fundamental critique of
government and authority - one that remains a relevant part of
today's libertarian movement. It will be of Interest to political
theorists, economists, sociologists, and scholars of American
history; above all, to those who may not yet have appreciated the
worth of an analysis made so many years ago.
