Peter Maurin (French: [moʁɛ̃]; May 9, 1877 – May 15, 1949) was a French Catholic social activist, theologian, and De La Salle Brother who founded the Catholic Worker Movement in 1933 with Dorothy Day.

Maurin expressed his philosophy through short pieces of verse that became known as Easy Essays.[1] Influenced by the contemporary work of G. K. Chesterton and Vincent McNabb,[2] he was one of the foremost promoters of the back-to-the-land movement and of Catholic distributism in the United States.[3] He was also influenced by Peter Kropotkin, an anarchist.[4][5]
