More about the book
Exploring the viability of social order in a stateless society, the book challenges both libertarian and liberal views on community dynamics. It argues that maintaining order is feasible only within small, stable communities characterized by economic equality. The author refutes the notion that inequality is inevitable without state intervention, asserting that anarchic communities can prevent gross inequality. Drawing on examples from various stateless societies, it presents a nuanced view of community as essential for reducing state power while safeguarding individual liberty.
