Focusing on the concept of mutual aid, the book examines the significance of cooperation and reciprocity in both the animal kingdom and human societies throughout history. Peter Kropotkin argues that the instinct for mutual support is essential for societal survival and flourishing, contrasting this with the prevailing notions of struggle. He explores various historical examples, from early evolution to modern organizations, advocating for small, sustainable communities as a counter to individualism and Marxism, ultimately offering a transformative perspective on human history.
