More About the Author
Product Description
Review
An indispensable source book for anyone interested in Proudhon's ideas and the origins of the socialist and anarchist movements in nineteenth-century Europe. --Robert Graham, editor of Anarchism: A Documentary History of Libertarian Ideas
Product Description
The first person to call himself an anarchist, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon was the originator of the phrase "Property Is Theft" and was a prolific writer and thinker of the 1800s. His political philosophy continues to be influential upon today's libertarian political strands and this collection brings together a definitive selection of his writing, much of which has long been out of print or unavailable in English. More influential than Karl Marx during his lifetime, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon's work tackles labour, property, law, machinery, democracy, the revolution in 1848, religion and class - this is a comprehensive anthology of his most important essays and will function as a much-needed and timely historical corrective for an often undervalued philosopher. His thoughts on banks and economics are particularly pertinent to our current economic situation.

It's Proudhon, what else can one say?, 26 Aug 2011
By Miguel C. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Property Is Theft!: A Pierre-Joseph Proudhon Reader (Paperback)
It was a great pleasure to read McKay's translation of Proudhon's famous/devastating treatise on Property, "Property is Theft". He includes large segments that Benjamin Tucker omitted from his own translation for whatever reason (I'd rather not speculate) and which, in many areas, give Proudhon a very different tone. This alone is worth the price, but he also includes Proudhon's economic critique of capitalism (in which you'll find many ideas that were later developed by Marx), "System of Economic Contradictions", along with other works, letters and some useful commentary. All in all, fantastic anthology.
