Description

What is Property? An Inquiry into the Principle of Right and of Government is a pivotal work by French philosopher P.-J. Proudhon, first published in 1840. In this groundbreaking text, Proudhon famously declares that property is theft, challenging the prevailing notions of ownership and economic rights. Through a rigorous examination of property, Proudhon critiques both capitalism and state authority, arguing that the institution of private property leads to exploitation and inequality. He proposes a radical rethinking of social organization, advocating for mutualism and collective ownership as alternatives that promote freedom and justice. Proudhon’s inquiry delves into the moral and economic implications of property, examining its impact on individual rights and societal structures. With its bold assertions and philosophical depth, this work laid the groundwork for anarchist thought and continues to influence contemporary discussions around property, economics, and governance. Proudhon’s insights remain relevant in today’s debates over equity and social justice.
