Written in 1873, Statism and Anarchy rejects both the modern capitalist state and the Marxist alternative to it. Here, Bakunin outlines his vision of an anarchist society and a theory of social revolution to achieve it. His ideas had an immediate impact on the Russian revolutionary movement and inspired anarchist movements elsewhere.

This book is a complete and authoritative English rendition of the last work of the great Russian anarchist Michael Bakunin.
