Stop, Thief!

“There is not a more important historian living today. Period.”
–Robin D.G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination

“E.P. Thompson, you may rest now. Linebaugh restores the dignity of the despised luddites with a poetic grace worthy of the master… [A] commonist manifesto for the 21st century.”
–Mike Davis, author of Planet of Slums

“Peter Linebaugh’s great act of historical imagination… takes the cliché of ‘globalization’ and makes it live. The local and the global are once again shown to be inseparable–as they are, at present, for the machine-breakers of the new world crisis.”
–T.J. Clark, author of Farewell to an Idea
