One of the twentieth century’s most original and uncompromising radical thinkers, Murray Bookchin here presents a collection of interviews and essays that crackle with intellectual urgency and political passion. Gathered between 1993 and 1998, the pieces find Bookchin at his most combative and visionary — dissecting the failures of both orthodox Marxism and lifestyle anarchism, defending his own philosophy of libertarian municipalism and social ecology, and demanding that the left reckon seriously with questions of hierarchy, ecology, and genuine democratic transformation. Challenging, rigorous, and often deliberately provocative, this is essential reading for anyone grappling with the theory and future of radical politics.
