Mutualism (Classic Reprint): A Synthesis: A Synthesis (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

18th century Idealism spearheaded great strides in Industrialism, notably through the application of economic liberty to expand its natural order. However, the author argues that the negative social and economic consequences have overshadowed the benefits, citing the decline of rural life, destruction of local economies, and over-reliance on imports. They propose a return to the land and a shift away from industrial capitalism to decentralized mutualism as a means of achieving better social and moral outcomes, self-sufficiency, and the integration of man and nature. Their theory is based in part on Prince Kropotkin's work, which emphasizes the advantages of decentralizing production and integrating industry and agriculture. The proposed "Mutualism" formula is presented as a higher, synthetic unity intended to replace the divisive concepts of Individualism and Socialism. Mutualism advocates organizing mutualistic land and labor by combining industrial and agricultural pursuits within a coordinating central body.
