notice
In the two essays reproduced here
from the CoEvolution Quarterly (1980 and 1983) you can read
some of the earliest formulations by Illich of the way in
which our individual and collective freedoms are diminished
and undermined by political-economic powers, which almost 20
years later are not only still entirely relevant, but have
become more than urgent to address.
