Kropotkin quote on labor and education circulates anew
Original: "If everybody, from childhood, learned whence came the bread he eats, the house he dwells in, the book he studies... soc
A passage from Peter Kropotkin's essay "Anarchism: Its Philosophy and Ideal" is being shared widely. In it, the Russian anarchist thinker argues that if children were taught where everyday goods come from — the bread they eat, the houses they live in, the books they study — society could easily handle the work of producing them. Readers are discussing the quote's argument for combining education with an understanding of labor.
Why now: The quote's argument about labor, education and mutual understanding resonates with current discussions about work and schooling.
