The Dispossessed, Karl Marx's Debates on Wood Theft and the Right of the Poor

Daniel Bensad examines Marx's early writings to establish a new framework for addressing the rights of the poor, the idea of the commons, and private property as a social institution. In addition to Bensad's prescient work of political philosophy, The Dispossessed includes new translations of Marx's original "theft of wood" articles and an introduction by Robert Nichols lucidly contextualizing the essays.
