jan 1, 1755 - Discourse on the Origin of inequality

Description:

Written in 1755 by Rousseau in which he blamed much of the evil in the world on the mal-distribution of property. He contended that human beings in primeval state of nature had been good, but that as they eventually formed social relations, and then social institutions, they lost their goodness.
