This is another spur of the moment project, from the neglected non-Proudhon to-do pile. Much of the essay will be familiar from the partial translation widely available online, but roughly 5000 words of the 13,000 in the original do not appear there. There are some questions, I think, about whether this text is already too prominent as an example of anarchist collectivism — presenting, as it does, a programmatic character that is perhaps hard to find in much of the rest of the relevant literature — but it is useful, I think, to at least have a complete draft of the work available.
