A. Kropotkin, Peter 28002057 The Conquest of Bread Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conquest_of_Bread Steven desJardins, Martin Pettit and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Conquest of Bread" by Peter Kropotkin is a revolutionary treatise that advocates for Anarchist Communism, written in the early 20th century. Kropotkin, a former Russian nobleman who became a prominent revolutionary thinker, outlines a vision for a society built on collaboration and shared prosperity. The work critiques the existing economic structures that perpetuate inequality, arguing that humanity possesses the means to provide for all its members, yet a minority monopolizes resources. The opening of "The Conquest of Bread" sets the stage for Kropotkin’s exploration of wealth production and distribution, beginning with a reflection on humanity's rich history of labor and innovation. He details how the accumulated labor of past generations has created the potential for abundant production, yet questions why so many remain impoverished. Kropotkin asserts that this disparity arises from systems of exploitation that favor a small elite, emphasizing that true progress can only be achieved through collective ownership of the means of production and a fundamental shift in societal values towards equality and the right to well-being for all.
