Mutualism is a libertarian socialist economic theory originally formulated by Pierre Joseph Proudhon. He argues that economic relations must be as equal as possible--prices should be based on the amount of work necessary for production (Labor theory of value).

In France, the movement counted up to 2,000 cases of mutual aid in 1848.

Libertarian mutualism, while overlaps with, is not to be confused with co-operativism. In Proudhon's own words, "mutuality, according to its etymology, rather comprises itself in exchange of goods and services rather than the congregation of forces and community of labor."

Theory
"The equality of people is the foremost condition of the leveling of wealth, which results in mutuality, that is to say, freedom itself."
