What Is Property? is a book written by French philosopher Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, and it was first published in 1840. The book is a critique of the concept of property and its role in society. Proudhon argues that property is theft and that it leads to inequality, oppression, and exploitation. He also criticizes the capitalist system and the state, which he sees as tools of the ruling class to maintain their power and privilege. Proudhon proposes an alternative system based on mutualism, where property would be replaced by a system of free exchange and cooperation. The book is considered a classic of anarchist and socialist thought and has influenced many political movements and thinkers.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.
