Interesting to see that Wayne Price of NEFAC NYC has a new Book coming out called The Abolition of the State: Anarchist & Marxist Perspectives.

Many might be familiar with Wayne's writings from his monthly columns at Anarkismo [2] and according to promotional material floating around the net his new book covers

The nature of the state. The concept of the abolition of the state, in the anarchist and Marxist traditions.

How anarchists may conceive of social coordination in a nonstatist society. Whether productive technology is necessarily in conflict with a nonstatist society. How nonstatism is consistent with a cooperative, experimental, noncapitalist, social system.. A conception of anarchism as a radical extention of democracy.

And it would seem the discussions are

Quote:

are grounded in a review of historical revolutions, particularly the Russian Revolution and the Spanish Revolution, as well as the struggle against the rise of fascism in Italy and Germany.

This book is now available for purchase on the AuthorHouse Web site [3]:
The price from AuthorHouse is $9.90 or for a more expensive price on Amazon.

Interesting to note Wayne's use of the increasingly popular printing on demand technology for the publication of this work.
