Dear Kevin,

is there any chance that you could introduce this special issue to our p2p blog, writing for people not familiar with the theoretical underpinnings of 19th anarchism, and also introduce the 'two-gun  mutualism' project, i.e. a marriage of the individual and the collective?

Thanks, Michel. I'll try. But Shawn Wilbur's historical treatment of mutualism is more dialectical and more nuanced than my nuts-and-bolts economic approach (which is much closer to the American individualists clustered around Benjamin Tucker). I have difficulty getting a solid grasp on his development of an "anarchism of approximations" based on the principle of mutuality, and exactly what he means by it. I'm cc'ing Shawn, because he might want to provide you some comments by way of introduction.
