Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution

Before you is one of the key works by the outstanding philosopher, theorist, and practitioner of anarchism, Pyotr Alekseyevich Kropotkin—a book that remains relevant more than one hundred years after its first publication. In it, the author examines social relations through the lens of evolutionary theory, arguing that the ability to cooperate and support one another is the most important advantage that ensures the flourishing of ant colonies, wolf packs, groups of higher primates, as well as human communities in all historical eras. This audiobook can change the listener’s view not only of how modern society is organized, but also of the origins of our striving for morality, justice, and solidarity.
