Inhaltsangabe:

Thomas Paine was the first international revolutionary. His Common Sense (1776) was the most widely read pamphlet of the American Revolution--and hisRights of Man (1791-2), the most famous defense of the French Revolution, sent out a clarion call for revolution throughout the world. Paine paid the price for his principles: he was outlawed in Britain, narrowly escaped execution in France, and was vilified as an atheist and a Jacobin on his return to America.
This new edition contains the complete texts of both Rights of Man and Common Sense, as well as six other powerfully political writings--American Crisis I,American Crisis XIII, Agrarian Justice, Letter to Jefferson,Letter Addressed to the Addressers on the Late Proclamation, and Dissertation onthe First Principles of Government--all of which illustrate why Paine's ideas still resonate in the modern welfare states of today.
