Fighting For Freedom 1857 – 1896. Libertarian was first coined in 1857 to summarise opposition to the authoritarian relations generated by the state, capitalism and patriarchy – and the desire to end them. This anthology brings together libertarian writings from the next 160 years, all united by a love of freedom and seeking to change the world to allow every individual to flourish. The first volume includes an excellent introduction outlining the reason and argument of this work by Iain Mckay.
