Item description from seller

Two seminal essays, revised and expanded, by "renegade Marxist"-turned-anarcho-pacifist Dwight Macdonald that were originally published in his magazine Politics. Professor Henry Gonshak described "The Root Is Man" as Macdonald's most important political essay, in which he "eloquently expressed the unwavering cornerstore of of his moral and political philosophy: that the only worthwhile government was one devoted to the good not of the state, but of the individual" (from a review of A Rebel in Defense of Tradition: The Life and Politics of Dwight Macdonald). The second essay, "The Responsibility of Peoples," examines the concept of "war guilt" and whether the peoples of countries that commit war atrocities are to blame. Perfect-bound wrappers, folio-size (12" x 9"), v, 63 p. Browning to wrappers, light chipping and wear to spine ends.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
