What is Property? Or, an Inquiry into the Principle of Right and of Government
What is Property? is a seminal work written by the French anarchist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon in 1840. In this influential and provocative treatise, Proudhon examines the concept of property and challenges traditional notions of ownership and authority. The central thesis of the book revolves around Proudhon's famous declaration that property is robbery, asserting that the accumulation of wealth and property by individuals or the state leads to inequality and exploitation. Proudhon explores the origins of property, delving into historical, legal, and social aspects to question its legitimacy. He critiques both private property and state property, arguing for a more equitable system. The book has had a profound impact on anarchist and socialist thought, influencing subsequent political philosophers and movements. Proudhon's critique of property and his exploration of alternative social arrangements continue to stimulate discussions about economic justice, property rights, and the nature of authority.
