The Conquest of Bread

A better world is possible. This professionally-presented edition has been thoroughly proofread and has good margins with a font size that is easy on the eyes. Kropotkin points out the flaws inherent in capitalism, which is incompatible with human nature. Our current economic system creates poverty and scarcity even though there are enough resources for everybody, but he gives us hope that a better system is possible. Peter Kropotkin was born a Russian prince whose father owned 1,200 serfs. As he aged, he came to hate the inequality in his society, and renounced his royal title. He was imprisoned and spent decades in exile for his views.
