What is Property?

by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

Overview

In What is Property?, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon delivers a critique of private property, examining it both as a form of tyranny and liberty. He looks at the ways in which property is a natural right - in which people own the produce of their labor - but also can further greed, social classes, and crime. Readers will find Proudhon's writing energetic, captivating, and true to the revolutionary spirit. This Dialectics edition includes over 75 original footnotes.
