With remarkable clarity, Peter Harrison reveals how the assumed escape from 'savagery' the Enlightenment promised was ever only the transformation of humans into commodities freely available in a market: independence and autonomy being replaced by dependence and drudgery.

Harrison, Peter: - Pete Harrison was born in Brisbane but grew up in the UK, where he was involved in workplace, anarchist and ultra-left activism through the 1980's and '90's. He is half of the duo who wrote Nihilist Communism ('still one of the most hard-nosed books to call the left to account'). Since becoming a teacher he has also written for Mathematics Teaching. Pete and Willie Brim have had work published in the National Indigenous Times and elsewhere, and are presenters on an Indigenous literacy project called Yarning Strong, produced by Oxford University Press. They operate an embryonic website: www.bulwaicollective.org.
