What is Property? An Inquiry into the Principle of Right and of Government
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textA pamphlet that answers its own title question with a single notorious word, and then spends the rest of the book making the argument stick. Proudhon meant to provoke, and every subsequent debate about ownership owes him a footnote whether it admits it or not. Read it as the opening argument it is, not the final one.
