Students of French history and lovers of rousing tales alike will
find in this hard-to-find work an alternative look at the French
Revolution from one of the great anarchist thinkers of the late
19th and early 20th centuries.Communist advocate PETER ALEXEYEVICH
KROPOTKIN (1842-1921) was deemed "perfect" by Oscar Wilde, who
described Kropotkin as a man with "a soul of that beautiful white
Christ which seems coming out of Russia." Here, he takes the first
serious look at the economic side of the popular Gallic uprising,
exploring: the spirit of the revolt the declaration of the rights
of man the fears of the middle classes financial difficulties of
the Revolution feudal legislation in 1790 social demands and
arbitrary taxation the problems with paper money schemes for the
socialization of the means of subsistence and exchange and much
more.Originally published in two small volumes, this replica
edition combines the authorized 1927 American publication into one
book that may change how modern readers think about the French
Revolution.
