Using data from his own time, the former Russian Prince (whose family \u003cem\u003eowned\u003c\/em\u003e more than 1000 serfs) lays out a detailed account of Anarchist Society - a fair and equitable social system based upon the concept that, as all things are the common inheritance of Mankind, they should, and can be, held in common.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany of Kropotkin's concepts are surprisingly contemporary, including a 'needs' as opposed to a 'contributory' scheme of social care, and food security via a system that sounds suspiciously like present-day Permaculture! A book for all those interested in changing society for the better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Aziloth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50364026945810,"sku":"9781911405429","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_15243b45-a526-4a77-bb4f-b0844b1212f6.jpg?v=1765355958","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-conquest-of-bread-9781911405429","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
