Chleb i volja) is a revolutionary work by the anarchist communist Peter Kropotkin (1842–1921). It was originally written in French and first appeared in a series of articles in the anarchist magazines Le Révolté (The Revolting) and La Révolte (The Revolt), on which Kropotkin collaborated. It was first published as a book by Tresse & Stock in Paris in 1892 with a foreword by Élisée Reclus (1830–1905) as No. 1 in the Bibliothèque sociologique .

Kropotkin had made mutual aid the foundation of his theory of communist anarchism early on .

The didactic character of the book is shown by his sentence: "Prosperity for everyone!"
