Proudhon's "What is Property?"

[ontheyslay]

I just finished reading this book, and I enjoyed it a lot. I was just wondering if there are any critiques specifically dealing with the ideas he put forth about private property in this book. Not that I disagree with what he is saying, I would just like to get both sides. Thanks!

Marx goes on a demolition spree of Proudhon in The Poverty of Philosophy (http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/poverty-philosophy/index.htm).

Lol, or not. Marx's criticisms are mostly rhetorical and molded around Proudhon's idealistic views of history rather than actual economic critiques. But please, read it for yourself. If you're actually looking for a debunking of mutualism, you'll be severely disappointed.

Marx's critique is rather weak.

Proudhon did engage in a debate with capitalist called Frederic Bastiat on the concept of interest. I can't post links but it isn't too hard to find.
