{"product_id":"what-is-property-pierre-joseph-proudhon-9781602060944","title":"What Is Property?","description":"Proudhon's most famous declaration that \"property is theft\" comes from this, his most famous work, published in French in 1840; the English translation dates from 1890. According to Proudhon, only that which is being used is real property. Land must be lived on or farmed to be property, and goods must have been made by one's own labor to be owned. These new definitions challenge the very basis of capitalist systems, and Proudhon used them as the foundation for his writings in support of anarchy. Activists, historians, and philosophers will find themselves pondering his arguments long after they have finished reading. PIERRE-JOSEPH PROUDHON (1809-1865) was a French political philosopher who wrote extensively on anarchy and was the first person known to have referred to himself as an anarchist. His most famous writings include The General Idea of the Revolution in the 19th Century (1852) and System of Economic Contradictions; or The Philosophy of Poverty (1846).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pierre-Joseph Proudhon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1602060940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781602060944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Pierre-Joseph Proudhon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938620211455,"sku":"9781602060944","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4de5135b-eb51-4812-be60-31fd0c0d386c.jpg?v=1681436760","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-is-property-pierre-joseph-proudhon-9781602060944","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
