"The old motives of profit and self-interest will cease to dominate economic life. Instead the incentive will be the good of the members of society, without distinction."

George Woodcock was born on May 8, 1912, in Canada. His work as an anarchist historian and writer led to significant contributions to the understanding and propagation of anarchist philosophy. He was prolific throughout his lifetime, having produced more than 100 books, including 'Anarchism: A History of Libertarian Ideas and Movements' which is regarded as one of his most significant works.
Woodcock passed away on January 28, 1995. However, his influence continues to resonate within the realm of anarchist theory. His ideas, deeply rooted in pacifism, challenged the stereotype of anarchists as violent revolutionaries. He emphasised that anarchism could be a peaceful and constructive force opposing authoritarian tendencies. His work provided valuable historical context and intellectual foundation for anarchist theory and continues to inspire students and scholars of anarchism of our time.
