Bibliography of Equitable Commerce

July 19, 2017 Shawn P. Wilbur equitable commerce, outliers and fellow travelers

Equitable Commerce was the name given to Josiah Warren’s social system, which combined the principles of individual autonomy and “cost the limit of price.” Warren’s approach attracted a fairly substantial following at various times and was influential among anarchists. The works collected here are either writings by Warren and his associates, elaborating the system, or outside accounts of the movement.
