In 1983 I was 16, listening to Crass (and, bizarrely, Van Der Graaf Generator), and of course an anarchist. I was also a science fiction reader and lover of all things Michael Moorcock. So when I picked up a copy of "The Retreat from Liberty", Moorcock's libertarian pamphlet on the erosion of freedom in the west (and Britain in particular), it blew my head off. Forceful and direct writing that articulated a libertarian/anarchist perspective better than anything else I'd read, managing to be both accessible (something that's rare in anarchist writing) and to the point.
Of course, 20 years later its long out of print - and having given a copy to my sister, who promptly lost it, and losing another copy myself, I haven't read it for many years. Does anyone remember this book, and does anyone still have a copy? If so, is it as good as I remember? |
