Freedom of association
Mutualist anarchism is concerned with [[Reciprocity (cultural anthropology)|reciprocity]], [[Freedom of association|free association]], voluntary contract, federation, and credit and currency reform. Many mutualists believe a market without [[government intervention]] drives prices down to labor-costs, eliminating profit, rent, and interest according to the [[labor theory of value]]. Firms would be forced to compete over workers just as workers compete over firms, raising wages. Some see mutualism as between individualist and collectivist anarchism; in "What Is Property?", Proudhon develops a concept of "liberty", equivalent to "anarchy", which is the dialectical "synthesis of communism and property." Greene, influenced by [[Pierre Leroux]], sought mutualism in the synthesis of three philosophies – communism, capitalism and socialism. Later individualist anarchists used the term mutualism but retained little emphasis on synthesis, while [[social anarchism|social anarchists]] such as the authors of [[An Anarchist FAQ]] claim mutualism as a subset of their philosophical tradition.
