Anarchy by Errico Malatesta

A concise, persuasive defense of anarchist principles arguing that concentrated political and economic power—whether in the state or in capitalist enterprise—destroys liberty and human solidarity; it advocates replacing coercive institutions with voluntary cooperation, mutual aid, social ownership, and workers’ self-management, rejects electoral and authoritarian paths to socialism, and urges direct action, education, and decentralized federations of free associations as the means by which a humane, egalitarian society can be built from the ground up.
