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.
