Author Description

The Conquest of Bread is a political and social philosophy book written by Peter Kropotkin, a Russian anarchist, in 1892. The book is a critique of capitalism and a proposal for a socialist society based on mutual aid and cooperation. Kropotkin argues that the means of production should be collectively owned and managed by the workers, and that goods and services should be distributed according to need rather than profit. He also advocates for the abolition of the state and the establishment of a decentralized system of self-governance. The Conquest of Bread is considered a classic of anarchist literature and has influenced many anarchist and socialist movements around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
