Essays by Thomas Paine (black books to read .TXT) ๐
Description
Thomas Paine was an American political commentator and activist in the latter part of the eighteenth century. His writing covered a wide range of subjects, but were centered on his core beliefs of republicanism and the inherent rights of people. An early pamphlet of his, โCommon Sense,โ was written soon after he arrived in America from Great Britain; with its focus on the ills of colonialism and the Kingโs veering between rational debate and righteous outrage, it has been cited as one of the major catalysts for the American Revolution. Later work attempted to correct the mistakes he perceived in post-revolution French governmentโwritten from experience after his election to the French National Conventionโand even suggested a costed plan for a universal basic income funded by an inheritance tax.
Collected here are his essays and pamphlets written between 1776 and 1797, including the aforementioned โCommon Senseโ and other influential works like โThe Republican Proclamationโ and the โDeclaration of Rights.โ
