Jim Scott’s Book On Anarchism (New York Times)

James Scott, the director of the Agrarian Studies at ISPS, was interviewed by the New York Times about his new book, “Two Cheers for Anarchism: Six Easy Pieces on Autonomy, Dignity, and Meaningful Work and Play.” The book is published by Princeton University Press.

From the article, "Professor Who Learns From Peasants":

"To most Americans the term anarchism probably invokes bomb-throwing radicals. But seen through Mr. Scott’s squint, anarchist principles are in action all around us, whether in jaywalking, the anti-SAT movement or assembly-line slowdowns — all examples, he contends, of everyday resistance to the rule of technocratic elites."
