Summary
Story one: The Conquest of Bread by Peter Kropotkin
The deficiencies of the economic systems of capitalism and feudalism are proposed to be how the whole of society is kept in poverty and scarcity and, therefore, under the control of the wealthy few. Written in the late 1800s, this prophetic book reveals the truths of the many abuses against human rights caused by the centralization of industry.
Story two: Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution by Peter Kropotkin
Mutual aid, otherwise known as mutually beneficial cooperation, is explored as having an essential role in both the animal kingdom and human society in the survival of everyone. Supporting the theory and foundation for anarchist communism, Peter presents an altruistic view of society, comparing it to the natural laws of biology and evolution.
Story three: Fields, Factories and Workshops by Peter Kropotkin
Focused on the decentralization of industry, Fields, Factories and Workshops connects anarchism with science based on behavioral trends and tendencies of people. He delivers an economical approach to the formation of a stateless society in which all citizens participate in meeting the needs of the community.
Story four: An Appeal to the Young by Peter Kropotkin
Kropotkin’s most famous pamphlet An Appeal to the Young addresses young professionals entering the workforce, encouraging them to join the cause to incite radical societal change.
Story five: The Life of Kropotkin by CSA Publishing
This is an original biography about the prolific thought leader in communist anarchism. Kropotkin tirelessly approached a cause which he believed would benefit humanity and continued to inspire his fellow countrymen to join the movement until his death in 1921.

Great Intro to Kropotkin’s Ideas
This anthology is a great place to start if you’re curious about Peter Kropotkin and his ideas. It includes The Conquest of Bread and Mutual Aid, where he lays out his thoughts on cooperation and creating a fairer society. I also liked how An Appeal to the Young and The Life of Kropotkin give you a sense of who he was as a person. Really fascinating. The annotations are super helpful for understanding the more complicated stuff. Whether you’re into anarchism or just exploring political philosophy, this collection is solid.

The audiobook of The Peter Kropotkin Anthology is well-narrated, making complex ideas easy to follow. The narrator’s clear tone brings Kropotkin’s writings to life I found the pacing good, allowing time to absorb Kropotkin’s thoughts without feeling rushed.

Blend of science, economics, and political theory
This audiobook is an eye-opening critique of capitalism and feudalism, highlighting how these systems perpetuate poverty and inequality. Kropotkin's analysis is as relevant today as it was when he first wrote it, making this a must-read for anyone interested in social justice and human rights. The book presents a powerful and inspiring view of human and animal cooperation as essential to survival. Kropotkin’s argument that mutual aid is a natural force gives a compelling foundation to his vision of anarchist communism.

A powerful reminder that change is possible.
Listening to this audiobook really changed my perspective. Kropotkin’s ideas about cooperation struck a chord with me, especially when he talks about how we can lift each other up instead of tearing each other down. It felt so refreshing to hear that we can create a better world together. I found myself thinking about how I can be more supportive in my own community. This book isn’t just theory; it’s a call to action for anyone who wants to challenge the status quo.
