Publisher's Synopsis
""Fields, Factories and Workshops"" is a book written by the Russian anarchist philosopher and activist, Peter Kropotkin. The book explores the idea of combining agriculture, industry, and intellectual labor with manual work to create a more sustainable and equitable society. Kropotkin argues that the separation of these different forms of labor has led to the exploitation of workers, the degradation of the environment, and the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few. He proposes a decentralized, self-sufficient system of production that would prioritize the needs of local communities and promote cooperation and mutual aid. Throughout the book, Kropotkin draws on examples from history and contemporary society to illustrate the potential benefits of his vision, and to challenge the prevailing economic and political systems of his time. ""Fields, Factories and Workshops"" remains a seminal work in anarchist and socialist thought, and continues to inspire movements for social and environmental justice today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
