Description

Prince Peter Kropotkin (1842-1921) was the most outstanding anarchist thinker of his time. His writings, which combine revolutionary fervor with intellectual rigor, were influential far beyond the bounds of the anarchist movement. No mere propagandist, Kropotkin aimed to provide anarchism with a scientific base through research of dominant tendencis in society. This text is a meticulously researched and argued outline for redirecting agricultural and industrial production in a world of shrinking resources and increasing human needs.  More prophetic than utopian, this volume remains remarkably pertinent to economic conditions at the end of the twentieth century. The analysis of trends at work in the United States, Japan and China are of amazing predictive power.
