What Is Property? is a seminal work by French philosopher Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, first published in 1840. In this book, Proudhon argues against the concept of private property and proposes an alternative system based on mutualism and collective ownership. He critiques the existing economic and political systems of his time, arguing that they perpetuate inequality and injustice. Proudhon's ideas had a significant influence on anarchist and socialist movements, and his work remains relevant today in discussions of property rights and economic justice. This edition includes an introduction by Murray Bookchin, a leading anarchist thinker of the 20th century.Property is impossible; equality does not exist. We hate the former, and yet wish to possess it; the latter rules all our thoughts, yet we know not how to reach it. Who will explain this profound antagonism between our conscience and our will? Who will point out the causes of this pernicious error, which has become the most sacred principle of justice and society?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
