The Conquest of Bread

*The Conquest of Bread* by Peter Kropotkin is a key anarchist work advocating for a society where goods and resources are produced collectively and shared freely. Kropotkin argues that technological advances make it possible for humanity to meet everyone’s needs without profit, private ownership, or hierarchical control. He envisions a decentralized, cooperative system where communities organize themselves based on mutual aid and voluntary cooperation, removing the inequalities and exploitation inherent in capitalism. The book promotes the idea that true freedom and abundance are achievable through collective effort and dismantling oppressive social structures.
