The Conquest of Bread The Classic Anarchist Manifesto
The Conquest of Bread is a revolutionary idyll, a beautiful outline sketch of a future society based on liberty, equality and fraternity. It is, in Kropotkin's own words, "a study of the needs of humanity, and of the economic means to satisfy them." Read in conjunction with the same author's "Fields, Factories and Workshops," it meets all the difficulties of the social inquirer who says: "The Anarchist ideal is alluring, but how could you work it out?"Table of Contents THE MAN THE BOOK: PREFACE Chapter I Our Riches Chapter II Well-being For All Chapter III Anarchist Communism Chapter IV Expropriation Chapter V Food Chapter VI Dwellings Chapter VII Clothing Chapter VIII Ways And Means Chapter IX The Need For Luxury Chapter X Agreeable Work Chapter XI Free Agreement Chapter XII Objections Chapter XIII The Collectivist Wages System Chapter XIV Consumption And Production Chapter XV The Division Of Labour Chapter XVI The Decentralization Of Industry Chapter XVII Agriculture
