Cropotkin's All Is for All

Cropotkin argues the wealth that humanity has created through generations is not only concentrated in the hands of a few, it is also wasted on the superfluous demands of the rich. He gives many examples from his own century, but we can think of health insurance corporations in our own time as playing this rule. A huge bureaucratic administrative sector emerges in the American healthcare system that stands between doctors and patients to fund their continued existence. This drives up prices, prohibits the working poor from having access to healthcare at all and makes the US healthcare system simultaneously the most expensive in the world and the most underperforming in the developed world.
