Answer	Hint
Josiah Warren (1798-1874)
Noam Chomsky (1928-)
Max Stirner (1806-1856)	This key thinker argues the accumulation and retention of property is our main economic motivation: -He believed that the individual was entitled to anything they could find in the world. -Furthermore, it was the right to use one's ego to use other people for one's own purposes. -He claimed people are capable of altruism, of fellow feeling, but this would show itself only if a person's ego saw altruism as being in their own interests. -Egoists (his followers) didn't develop coherent economic ideas, save for the notion that free individuals would find a way to trade with each other on the basis of their rational self-interest. -Egoist conception of economic life is very much associated with the accumulation of property. -We all have a drive to obtain possessions and, having obtained them, to retain them.
Robert Nozick (1938-2002)
Mikhail Bakunin (1814-1876)	This key thinker argues the market system of exchange was to be abolished and replaced by exchange based on the true value of labour and goods: -In his early life his ideas were close to those of Marx - he opposed capitalism and the existence of private property, seeing them both as oppressive. -Furthermore, he agreed with the Marxists that the state was the agent of capitalism - therefore both capitalism and the state had to be abolished. -He saw the 1871 Paris Commune as an anarchist revolt, aiming to replace the oppressive state with a commune where there was to be common ownership of property, economic equality and direct democracy in place of political rule. -His visions of an ordered society, based on the laws of nature, were known as federalism. -He saw groups of workers or peasants joining together (spontaneously) in voluntary communities of any size. -As long as people group themselves in such communes, with common ownership of property and equal distribution of rewards on a voluntary basis, there is no coercion. -The relationships between these communes or federations were to be conducted on the basis of mutual benefit. -There was to be no capitalist market system, which would promote inequality, but rather a system of free negotiation and exchange on the basis of the true value of goods and services. -He saw no contradiction between economic freedom and collective ownership.
