PROUDHON, Pierre-Joseph
Qu’est-ce que la propriéte?
Librairie de Prévot, Paris, 1841
small 8vo, contemporary half leather, (xx) + 314 p. + index; good copy, edges rubbed, light water stain to first 50 pages, otherwise clean
Second edition (after only a handful of first edition copies) of Proudhon’s first major work in which he examines the concept of property and launches the famous phrase “la propriété, c’est le vol”. As the first self-declared anarchist Proudhon is considered by many to be “the father of anarchism”.
