It possesses a lucidity of style not often found in books on social themes. In Kropotkin’s own description, the book is “a study of the needs of humanity, and the economic means to satisfy them”. Taking the Paris Commune as its model, its paramount aim is to show how a social revolution can be made and how a society, organized on libertarian lines, can then be built on the ruins of the old.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForm Stirner’s individualism, Proudhon’s mutualism and Bakunin’s collectivism Kropotkin proceeded to the principle of “anarchist communism”, by which private property and inequality of income would give way to the free distribution of goods and services. In summing up his beliefs he said, “The anarchists conceive a society in which all the mutual relations of its members are regulated… by mutual agreements between the members of the society and by a sum of social customs and habits…continually developing and continually readjusting in accordance with the ever-growing requirements of a free life stimulated by the progress of science, invention and the steady growth of higher ideals.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his introduction, George Woodcock throws a modern light on the significance and scope of Kropotkin’s work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge Woodcock is one of Canada’s most distinguished men of letters- journalist, poet, and author of more than forty books.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn Introduction by George Woodcock\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface by Elisee Reclus To The First French Edition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface To The 1907 Edition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Our Riches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Well-Being For All\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Anarchist Communism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Expropriation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Food\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Dwelling\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Clothing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Ways and Means\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9: The Need for Luxury\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Agreeable Work\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Free Agreement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Objections\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 13: The Collectivist Wages System\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 14: Consumption and Production\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 15: The Division of Labour\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 16: The Decentralization of Industry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 17: Agriculture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1990: 349 pages, index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaperback ISBN: 978-0-921689-50-8 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHardcover ISBN: 978-0-921689-51-5 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eeBook ISBN: 978-0-921689-50-8\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Rose Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47012982718704,"sku":"9780921689508","price":24.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780921689508_p0.jpg?v=1763867468","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780921689508","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
