The Conquest of Bread was written by the communist Peter Kropotkin in French in 1892. Very soon after its first publication the book was translated into English and published in the London Journal Freedom. Immediately it gained a high popularity and was translated in Norwegian, Japanese and many other languages. The work is written in classic Marxist traditions explaining the defects of the economicx of feudalism and capitalism. Such defects provoke poverty among the greatest part of the population. Kropotkin defends an idea of a new economic system that would be decentralized and based of mutual aid and cooperation. The book also analyzed the premises for such a transition in the contemporary western societies.
