A fascinating treatise by one of the most important Russian thinkers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

He was a prolific writer, producing a large number of pamphlets and articles, the most notable being 'The Conquest of Bread and Fields, Factories and Workshops' and 'Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution'.
