The Conquest of Bread by Peter Kropotkin
hopeful

3.0
I think this book is roundly successful at being inspiring - it's certainly the most inspiring piece of political literature I've ever read. I think it's weak on evidence however, because while Kropotkin does his math, he doesn't do a lot of it. That said, the material is absolutely worth taking seriously in my opinion, and it puts forth massively interesting proposals.
Minor: Racial slurs
There is one use of the n-word in Part III of Chapter 17, near the end of the book (on page 201 in my copy, which is a 2015 Penguin Classics publication).
