Critical Reflection on Economic Categories: An Examination of Proudhon in The Poverty of Philosophy

Abstract

Constructing theory through the critique of political economy, the central aspect of its critique of political economy is the critique of
economic categories. In the text of The Poverty of Philosophy, the critique of Proudhons economic categories reveals in depth the contradictions, subjectivity, and ideological falsehoods within his economic theories, and reveals the antagonistic nature of the economic categories of
class society, placing the life of the categories in the changing structure of the productive forces and the relations of production, and laying the
theoretical foundations for the establishment of economic science.
