Synopsis

The natural progression of social evolution.


Armed with a mass of figures, Kropotkin puts forward the evidence that communities and countries can be self-sufficient in food and manufacturing, rather than the richer people and countries paying the poorer people and countries to do their work for them.

Kropotkin proposes a new model of social organization, which would combine intellectual and physical work, rather than a rigid division of labor which forces many of us to live our lives working tedious, meaningless jobs.

This combination of evenly-distributed brain work and body work would allow us all to live fuller, richer lives, and would lead to a more efficient and just society.
