Just property: its story in the Latin West. Volume 2. Education, revolution and history

The book traces the development of ideas about property in the West, starting from the XVIII century. Through the era of education and the experience of the French revolution to the critical position of the socialists and anarchists in the 19th century. For its supporters, private property serves as a means of ensuring personal freedom, restricting authoritarian governments, the development of sciences and arts and an unprecedented improvement in the financial situation of the population. For her critics, private property is the most important component of the new political economy of systemic and unlimited class operation. She permeates and corrupts everything that touches. These new arguments and counterarguments are characteristic of the era of the New Age, and they continue to remain relevant today
