Description
"The Conquest of Bread" by Petr Alekseevich Kropotkin is a book published in 1892. Originally appearing as articles in the French anarchist journal Le Révolté, this work critiques feudalism and capitalism while proposing a decentralized economic system based on mutual aid and voluntary cooperation. Kropotkin argues that modern industrial society produces enough for everyone's needs and envisions a world where people work minimal hours while enjoying both necessities and luxuries through collective production. The book became a foundational text of anarchist communist theory. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
