Society Against the State - (Mole Editions) by Pierre Clastres (Paperback)

This groundbreaking book by Pierre Clastres challenges traditional notions of power, society, and the State.

Through a series of imaginative and insightful essays, he explores the anarchistic political and social roles of storytelling, homosexuality, jokes, ruinous gift-giving, and the torturous ritual marking of the body in stateless societies.

Clastres refutes the idea that the State is the ultimate density of all societies and instead develops a whole alternate political technology based on values such as leisure, prestige, and generosity.

This thought-provoking work will challenge your assumptions about power and society and offer a fresh perspective on the nature of human civilization.
