Book
Rights of man / Thomas Paine.
[This work has been] considered a classic statement of faith in democracy and egalitarianism. The first part of the document, dedicated to George Washington, appeared in 1791. Defending the early events of the French Revolution, it spoke on behalf of democracy, equality and a new European order. Part Two, which appeared the following year, is perhaps [the author's] finest example of political pamphleteering and an exemplary work that supported social security for workers, public employment for those in need of work, abolition of laws limiting wages, and other social reforms.-Back cover.
