The Anomie of the Earth's contributors explore the convergences between Italian Marxist autonomic theory and Latin American decolonial thinking. They reject Carl Schmitt's formulation of a universalized world order based on the Western tenets of law and property and discuss the possibilities of locally organized and autonomous self-government.
