by Karl Marx
First published 1973
Exiled in Paris, Karl Marx lays waste to the economic theories of anarchist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon. Proudhon's "philosophy of poverty" claims that the contradictions of capitalism can be solved through reform. But Marx argues these contradictions are inherent to the system, and only a workers' revolution can liberate the masses from their misery. With ruthless logic, Marx dismantles Proudhon's ideas, revealing the poverty at the heart of his philosophy. This is no dry academic debate - it's a revolutionary manifesto, a call to arms against the forces that enslave the poor.
