'Well-being for all is not a dream.' In this brilliantly enjoyable, challenging
rallying-cry of a book, Kropotkin lays out the heart of his anarchist beliefs -
beliefs which surged around the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries
and which have a renewed relevance and poignancy today. Humane, thoughtful - but
also a devastating critique of how modern society is organized (with the brutal
, narrow few clinging onto their wealth and privileges at the expense of the man
y), The Conquest of Bread is a book to be argued over, again and again.
