Paupérisme et Association, published in 1847, offers a critical analysis of poverty and proposes solutions rooted in the concept of association. Written by Gatti De Gamond, this work reflects the social and political ferment of 19th-century France, where the rise of industrial capitalism led to widespread destitution and inequality. The book delves into the causes of poverty, examining economic structures and societal norms. Gamond advocates for cooperative associations as a means of empowering the working class and alleviating suffering.
This treatise offers valuable insights into the historical debates surrounding poverty, social reform, and the role of the state in addressing economic disparities. It is a significant contribution to the history of socialist thought and provides a window into the social concerns of its time. Scholars of French history, social science, and political theory will find Paupérisme et Association a relevant and insightful read.
