Review # 2 was written on 2009-05-13 00:00:00 Nicole Allen A surprisingly philosophical read! I bought this quite randomly from an online vendor. Not knowing who Winstanley was, I was attracted to the title. ~ The book is basically a collection of essays on collectivism, a thought that predates socialism. The idea? We all should live as a peaceful community, no one exercising power over another. There are also sections detailing the duties of people within a community. Most importantly, it recognised capitalism as a political issue, not merely an economical one. ~ The essays were written as pamphlets during the 17th century. Nonetheless, the book is quite an easy read. I managed to understand most of the ideas presented and did not get really confused. Went to Goodreads and found out that the book has less than five reviews. Noooooo. Why? It is such an important book that should be read by everyone.
