  • Markets Not Capitalism Explores the Gap Between Radically Freed Markets and the Capitalist-Controlled Markets That Prevail Today
    individualist anarchism against bosses, inequality, corporate power, and structural poverty Edited by Gary Chartier & Charles W. Johnson Individualist anarchists believe in mutual exchange, not economic privilege. They believe in freed markets, not capitalism. They defend a distinctive response to the challenges of ending global capitalism and achieving social justice: eliminate the political privileges that prop up capitalists. Massive concentrations of wealth, rigid economic hierarchies, and unsustainable modes of production are not the results of the market form, but of markets deformed and rigged by a network of state-secured controls and privileges to the business class. Markets Not Capitalism explores the gap between radically freed markets and the capitalist-controlled markets that prevail today. It explains how liberating market exchange from state capitalist privilege can abolish structural poverty, help working people take control over the conditions of their labor, and redistribute wealth and social power. Featuring discussions of socialism, capitalism, markets, ownership, labor struggle, grassroots privatization, intellectual property, health care, racism, sexism, and environmental issues, this unique collection brings together classic essays by Cleyre, and such contemporary innovators as Kevin Carson and Roderick Long. It introduces an eye-opening approach to radical social thought, rooted equally in libertarian socialism and market anarchism. “We on the left need a good shake to get us thinking, and these arguments for market anarchism do the job in lively and thoughtful fashion.” – Alexander Cockburn, editor and publisher, Counterpunch “Anarchy is not chaos; nor is it violence. This rich and provocative gathering of essays by anarchists past and present imagines society unburdened by state, markets un-warped by capitalism.

  • 4. Chapter 3.Wps
    Chapter Three State Policies That Promote Corporate Size and Centralization Capitalism, if we take it in R.A. Wilson's sense of a political and economic system in which the state intervenes in the market on behalf of capitalists, has been exploitative since the beginning. It was established at the outset by massive acts of state robbery and restrictions on liberty: the so-called "primitive accumulation" by which the peasantry's property in the land was expropriated, the Laws of Settlement which acted as an internal passport system restricting movement of the working class, the Combination Laws which restricted the bargaining power of labor, and the mercantilism and imperial aggression by which the so- called world market was created. These matters fall too far outside of our focus for detailed examination. A summary of all the uses of force involved in the establishment of capitalism can be found in Chapter Four of Studies in Mutualist Political Economy.1 Once established on this basis, the system was maintained through various state- enforced legal privileges. This, also, is too far outside the scope of the present chapter to examine in depth. The main forms of privilege that existed before the rise of corporate capitalism in the nineteenth century were the "Four Monopolies" summarized by Benjamin Tucker in "State Socialism and Anarchism," and will be considered in greater depth in our examination of privilege in Chapter Eleven. Our main concern here is not with this earlier system of privilege, but more specifically with the state's later role in the creation and development of the corporate economy, the concentration of capital, and the centralization of production.
