Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution by Peter Kropotkin
£11.50
His most influential work. A challenge to classical Darwinism, Kropotkin argues that in nature, co-operation is as important as competition. Now in a new edition with an introduction by Donald Rooum and historical preface by Iain McKay.
Description
Anarchist classic, rooted in observation of natural phenomena and history. Challenges the conception that capitalism is a natural progression of Darwinism at work in the wild. The author cites numerous examples of compassion and innate goodness at work outside the bounds of a structured power-based society. The study covers cooperation among animals, instances of non-hierachical interactions from primitive tribes to mediaeval cities, and on to his contemporary labor unions.
