Description

Pierre-Joseph Proudhon's influential work What Is Property? explores the concept of ownership and its implications for society. In this groundbreaking book, Proudhon argues that property is not an inherent right, but rather a social construct that can lead to inequality and exploitation. At its core, Proudhon's idea is simple: in a world where everything belongs to everyone in common, the creation of exclusive ownership creates a system of theft. By inventing principles to justify unequal distribution of resources, individuals deprive others of their rightful share, leading to dependence and subsistence on those who possess more. This edition of What Is Property? presents Proudhon's original ideas in a new light, shedding light on the enduring relevance of his anarchist philosophy.
