Synopsis

What is Property? First Memoir. An Inquiry into the Principle of Right and of Government explores a radical, historical view of property and power through Proudhon’s own words. This edition presents his arguments in clear translation and invites readers to weigh the idea that property may be impossible as a stable social rule.

In these pages, the author questions ownership, wealth, and governance, tracing how property shapes laws, budgets, and social relations. Written as a sustained argument, the work blends philosophical insight with practical concerns about justice, economy, and political life.


  • Understand how ownership is linked to social rights and government power

  • Explore Proudhon’s provocative propositions about property and production

  • See how the author connects labor, consumption, and social equality

  • Follow the evolution of his ideas through the first memoir’s chapters



Ideal for readers curious about the roots of property theory, political philosophy, and social reform movements of the era.
