Fields, Factories and Workshops: or Industry Combined with Agriculture and Brain Work with Manual Work (Russian: "Поля, фабрики и мастерские" ) is a landmark anarchist text by Peter Kropotkin, and arguably one of the most influential and positive statements of the anarchist political philosophy.
 It is viewed by many as the central work of his writing career.
 It was published in book form in 1898, by G. P. Putnam's Sons in New York and Swann Sonnenschein & Co. Ltd. in London.
 In this work, Kropotkin shares his vision of a more harmonious way of living based on cooperation instead of competition.
 To a large degree, Kropotkin's emphasis is on local organisation and local production, obviating the need for central government.
 Kropotkin's vision is also on agriculture and rural life, making it a contrasting perspective to the largely industrial thinking of communists and socialists.

 Readers today have access to an unprecedented range of works from around the world in excellent translations, and since the mid-1990s a lively debate has grown up concerning both the aesthetic and the political values and limitations of an emphasis on global processes over national traditions.
