"The Conquest of Bread" by Peter Kropotkin

Red Menace

CHAPTER

Kropotkin's the Socialist Economy and Its Impact on Humanity

Kropotkin makes a very good defense of the idea that humans are not fundamentally only selfishly self-interested and that absent wage humans would have no reason to work. He does a really good job of defending that other things motivate humans besides just pure self-interest right there is communal interest that is at the core of how humans behave which we see all around us in society. I also think that he makes some interesting predictions about where the world is going and where the revolution is going that are kind of interesting worth thinking about.
