""Proudhon And His Bank Of The People: Being A Defense Of The Great French Anarchist"" is a book written by Charles Anderson Dana in 1896. The book is a defense of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, a French philosopher and anarchist who is considered one of the founding fathers of anarchism. The book discusses Proudhon's life, ideas, and his most famous work, ""What is Property?"" which argues that property is theft and that it should be abolished. The book also focuses on Proudhon's proposal for a Bank of the People, which would be owned and operated by the people, rather than by private individuals or corporations. Dana argues that Proudhon's ideas were ahead of his time and that he was misunderstood and unfairly criticized by many of his contemporaries. The book also explores the influence of Proudhon's ideas on later anarchist thinkers and movements. Overall, ""Proudhon And His Bank Of The People"" provides a comprehensive look at the life and ideas of an important figure in the history of anarchism, and offers a defense of his contributions to political philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
