From trading post to emporium, this book presents a tricentennial history of Canada's pioneering fur-traders. The Hudson's Bay Company was the one chartered company that refused to die. It survived to play its part in the building of Canada, and today, like the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, it is one of those institutions that Canadians can criticize but never dismiss. But its historical importance is wider than Canada, for it represents one of the great forces in the drive that impelled Americans and Canadians alike across the great plains and the mountains towards the western ocean.

To what degree can anarchism be an effective organized movement? Is it realistic to think of anarchist ideas ever forming the basis for social life itself? These questions are widely being asked again today in response to the forces of economic globalization. The framework for such discussions was perhaps given its most memorable shape, however, in George Woodcock's classic study of anarchismâ€”now widely recognized as the most significant twentieth-century overview of the subject. Woodcock surveys all of the major figures that shaped anarchist thought, from Godwin and Proudhon to Bakunin, Goldman, and Kropotkin, and looks as well at the long-term prospects for anarchism and anarchist thought. In Woodcock's view "pure" anarchismâ€”characterized by "the loose and flexible affinity group which needs no formal organization"â€”was incompatible with mass movements that require stable organizations, that are forced to make compromises in the face of changing circumstances, and that need to maintain the allegiance of a wide range of supporters. Yet Woodcock continued to cherish anarchist ideals; as he said in a 1990 interview, "I think anarchism and its teachings of decentralization, of the coordination of rural and industrial societies, and of mutual aid as the foundation of any viable society, have lessons that in the present are especially applicable to industrial societies." This classic work of intellectual history and political theory (first published in the 1960s, revised in 1986) is now available exclusively from UTP Higher Education.

Anarchism: A history of libertarian ideas and movements (Pelican books)

Penguin??Books

This book discusses the six great proponents of anarchism and the movement that sprang from them. Beginning with the libertarian ideas of William Godwin and the German egotist Max Stirner the book moves on to Proudhon, the first man willingly to claim the title of anarchist. The book continues with an analysis of the philosophies of the Russian aristocratic thinkers Bakunin and Kropotkin, and the great Tolstoy. This second edition incorporates the changes that have take place in anarchism - with particular reference to the ephemeral nature of the anarchist movement - while pointing to its continuing tradition as it seizes upon current issues.
