Fields, Factories, and Workshops

Peter Kropotkin presents a transformative vision of society centered on cooperation rather than competition, advocating for local organization and production that diminishes the need for central government. This influential anarchist text, first published in 1898, emphasizes the importance of agriculture and rural life, offering a perspective that contrasts sharply with the industrial focus of contemporary communism and socialism. As a cornerstone of Kropotkin's work, it articulates a hopeful and harmonious approach to living that resonates with anarchist philosophy.
