description: An astute observer of the theoretical and practical limitations of the traditional left, Murray Bookchin sought to develop a refreshingly new political framework. Developing from his earlier works on social ecology—which combined ecological principles with the abolition of social hierarchy and economic inequality—Communalism is a fascinating blend of libertarian municipalism with the best of the anarchist and Marxist traditions. These essays, collected for the first time, represent the final works of Murray Bookchin, co-founder of the Institute for Social Ecology and the author of dozens of articles and books. Eirik Eiglad is the editor of the journal Communalism.
