The Poverty Of Philosophy (1892)

The Poverty of Philosophy is a book written by Karl Marx in 1892. The book is a critique of the economic and philosophical ideas of French anarchist and mutualist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon. Marx argues that Proudhon's ideas are flawed and that they do not provide a solution to the problems of poverty and inequality in society. He also criticizes Proudhon's ideas on property, labor, and the role of the state in society. Marx argues that the only way to truly eliminate poverty and inequality is through a socialist revolution that abolishes private property and establishes a system of collective ownership and control over the means of production. The book is considered a seminal work in Marxist theory and is still widely studied and debated today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
