Anybody know of any? A quick Google search led me to Mattick's review of some book, but I'm looking for a work which directly challenges Kropotkin's ideas.

Thanks,

Even though this isn't a direct critique of Mutual Aid, Pannekoek's "Marxism and Darwinism" is amongst the best texts on the subject. Of course most of the text is devoted to attacking "social darwinism", he also levels some criticism to the concept that socialism is the "natural order" of human beings.
