Synopsis
Using a synthesis of ecology, anthropology, philosophy and political theory, this book traces our society's conflicting legacies of freedom and domination, from the first emergence of human culture to today's global capitalism. The theme of Murray Bookchin's grand historical narrative is straightforward: environmental, economic and political devastation are born at the moment that human societies begin to organize themselves hierarchically. And, despite the nuance and detail of his arguments, the lesson to be learned is just as basic: our nightmare will continue until hierarchy is dissolved and human beings develop more sane, sustainable and egalitarian social structures.

Review
...a confirmation of his [Bookchin's] status as a penetrating critic not only of the ways in which humankind is destroying itself, but of the ethical imperative to live better. --The Village Voice
Elegantly written, and recommended for a wide audience. --Library Journal
The Ecology of Freedom is an eloquent, erudite, and highly ambitious work... Whatever one's perspective, one is likely to find in it much material for worthwhile reflection on the human condition. For many who are disillusioned with the reigning traditions of materialism, idealism, and dualism...the work will be of major significance. --Telos
About the Author
Born in America in 1921, Murray Bookchin has been an active voice in the ecology and anarchist movements for more than forty years. In 1971 he cofounded the Institute for Social Ecology. His two dozen books on politics, philosophy, history, urban affairs, and ecology, have influenced Green movements and anti-capitalist direct action groups.
