What is Property? An Inquiry into the Principle of Right and of Government

Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

What Is Property? An Inquiry into the Principle of Right and of Government, published in 1840 by French anarchist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, explores the concept of property and its implications for society and government. Proudhon famously asserts that 'property is theft,' distinguishing between property that supports tyranny and that which protects liberty. He argues that legitimate property arises from labor and occupation, opposing the notion of unused land as property and critiquing institutions like interest and rent.
