Proudhon before the Court of Assizes (1849)
Citizen jurors, you have heard the accusation; you will evaluate the defense. You will judge the good faith of the first; allow me to begin by expressing gratitude for the devotion of the second. The Advocate General made a mistake just now

P.-J. Proudhon, Three Prefaces for “The Celebration of Sunday”
Proudhon's first major work, The Celebration of Sunday, was subject to quite a number of revisions between the first edition in 1839 and what appears to be the fourth edition in 1850. The Preface and notes se

Charles-Auguste Bontemps, “The Libertarian Spirit” (1945)
A libertarian, from whatever discipline he claims to be, defines himself as essentially individualist and non-conformist. The libertarian spirit, according to the views that I propose to lay out, manifests itself in a constant desire for clarity

The Three Eras (May 22, 1848)
What does anarchy mean in the streets, if not the absence of informers and armed police? But if, without armed police, without informers, without gendarmes, order reigns in the streets; if no one is robbed there, if no one is murdered there, if no one is insulted there, will the population not h

New draft translation: P.-J. Proudhon, “The Right to Work and the Right of Property” (1848) — This is a fascinating text, which is one of the largely unexplored links between the memoirs on property in the early 1840s and works like "Theory of Property."

I have completed a rough translation of the Foreward, the long chapter on War, the Counterproposal and the Epilogue from Proudhon's completed, but ultimately unpublished 1859 book "How Business is Going in France And Why We Will Have War,

If We Have It: On the New Proposed Agreements Between the Railway Companies and the State." Folks who have read "War and Peace" or are familiar with his writings on political geography and the question of natural boundaries will find parts of the material familiar.

P.-J. Proudhon, “Solution of the Social Problem”

"Justice" update: I just finished a first draft of the Second Study. Only ten more to go... plus various odds and ends. 177,225 words in the Drafts file. Step by step.
