Synopsis
The articles in this issue cover considerable ground: from contemporary politics to the working of finance capital, the intersection of anarchism and art and the history of anarchist utopianism. The opening pieces are short reflections on recent events on Gaza and Greece. In the three substantive essays, Guido Preparata provides a comprehensive guide to the global economic system and the US Treasury's place within it - a prelude to a companion piece that will appear in Issue 18.1. Peter Wilkin's discussion of Tory anarchism examines an anarchistic satirical tradition in British thought and uses the analysis to reflect on British identity and the role of the empire in its construction. Ginger Frost's essay looks at the idea of free love and the attempt of early twentieth-century anarchists to live the principle in a hostile world. Gustave Courbet's decision to transform Proudhon's wife into a basket suggests that Proudhon would not have been impressed with such radical behaviours - but that's just one recommendation.

Review
'A fascinating study - pays homage to Cambria rather than Catalonia, and memorably so' Kenneth O Morgan, TLS 'Succeeds brilliantly in restoring the humanity of his true subjects, the volunteers - men formed by their time and place who consciously chose to express their commitment to a cause in the bravest way possible.' Dai Smith, Guardian
