    About this audiobook

    In this work, Kropotkin points out what he considers to be the fallacies of the economic systems of feudalism and capitalism, and how he believes they create poverty and scarcity 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.

    Peter Kropotkin

    Peter Kropotkin (1842–1921) was the foremost theorist of the anarchist movement. Born a Russian Prince, he rejected his title to become a revolutionary, seeking a society based on freedom, equality, and solidarity. Imprisoned for his activism in Russia and France, his writings include The Conquest of Bread; Fields, Factories, and Workshops; Anarchism, Anarchist-Communism, and the State; Memoirs of a Revolutionist; and Modern Science and Anarchism. New editions of his classic works Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution; Words of a Rebel; and The Great French Revolution, 1789–1793 will be published by PM Press to commemorate his life and work on the centennial of his death.

      The reader is unintelligible, surprised this was ever shared in the first place.

      Not reviewing the contents of the book, just reviewing the abhorrent quality of the recording as well as the reader. This is unlistenable. The extremely thick accent of the reader (I can’t tell the nationality, maybe they’re French?) makes it difficult to understand, but it would be tolerable if it didn’t sound like they were recording this from the built in microphone of an extremely cheap laptop.
