Listen to this episode from Classic Audiobook Collection on Spotify. The Poverty of Philosophy by Karl Marx audiobook. Genre: philosophy The Poverty of Philosophy is Karl Marx’s blistering 1847 polemic against Pierre-Joseph Proudhon’s influential book The Philosophy of Poverty, and in this vividly narrated audiobook you’ll hear the intellectual heat and rigorous argumentation that helped shape modern critiques of political economy. Marx dismantles Proudhon’s theories step by step—exposing confusions about value, labor, and exchange—while advancing a powerful materialist approach to history and class that anticipates themes he later develops in Capital. The result is not dry theory but a sharp, often witty engagement that combines close economic analysis with philosophical clarity and rhetorical force. This edition brings Marx’s argument to life for listeners who want to understand the roots of socialist thought, the mechanics of capitalist exploitation, and the historical debates that framed 19th-century political movements; it’s essential listening for students of philosophy, economics, political theory, and anyone curious about the intellectual battles that continue to shape our world. Whether you’re studying the history of ideas or seeking deeper context for contemporary discussions about inequality, the audiobook’s clear narration and timely translation make Marx’s uncompromising critique both accessible and urgent.
