The Government Of No One by Ruth Kinna
The Theory and Practice of Anarchism
A clear, concise introduction and history of anarchist thought that traces its development from early 19th-century thinkers to contemporary movements, explaining core ideas such as skepticism toward the state and concentrated authority, advocacy for self‑governance, decentralization, mutual aid, and horizontal organization. It surveys major figures and strands—classical collectivist and individualist currents, syndicalism, anarcho‑communism—and shows how theory translated into practice through social movements and revolutions, while addressing common misconceptions (equating anarchism with chaos), internal debates about strategy and ethics, and the challenges and potential of anarchist ideas in modern political life.
