The Conquest of Bread (version 2)

Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(4,7 Sterne; 145 Bewertungen)

In this work, Kropotkin points out what he considers to be the defects of the economic systems of feudalism and capitalism, and how he believes they thrive on and maintain poverty and scarcity, as symbol for richness and in spite of being in a time of abundance thanks to technology, while promoting privilege. He goes on to propose a more decentralised economic system based on mutual aid and voluntary cooperation, asserting that the tendencies for this kind of organisation already exist, both in evolution and in human society. He also talks about details of revolution and expropriation in order not to end in a reactionary way. (summary by AudibleAnarchist) (6 hr 1 min)

The readers have character and enthusiasm, and I like that you can hear birdsong in the background in one chapter

Fantastic theory!

(4,5 Sterne)

An overall fantastic book for anarchist theory, very comprehensive, and very punchy for most of it. Kropotkin spent a little too long on methods of agriculture for my taste, but that's all I could really fault this book for.
