I’ve set up a poll over on the Working Translations blog, with five possible book-length translation projects, and would love to have folks pick the one that’s seems most interesting. All are to some extent […]

Joseph Déjacque, “The Humanisphere: Anarchic Utopia” (1858)

November 23, 2013 Shawn P. Wilbur

Proudhon on “libertarians” in 1858

November 2, 2013 Shawn P. Wilbur
