Title: Marx, Proudhon, and European socialism
Description: Karl Marx, the German collectivist, and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, the French anarchist, were as sharply contrasted in ideas and methods as they were in background and character. They met, tried to combine forces, and inevitably failed. Yet together they provided the effective leadership of the two principal factions of 19th-century Socialism.
