A Discourse On Political Economy is a book written by the famous philosopher and writer Jean-Jacques Rousseau. It is a classic work in the field of political economy and provides a detailed analysis of the economic system of Europe during the 18th century.The book is divided into two parts. In the first part, Rousseau discusses the origins of inequality and the development of the social contract. He argues that the natural state of humans is one of equality and that inequality is a result of the development of private property and the establishment of political institutions.In the second part of the book, Rousseau focuses on the economic system of Europe and the ways in which it perpetuates inequality. He criticizes the mercantilist policies of European states and argues that they are designed to benefit the wealthy at the expense of the poor.Rousseau also discusses the role of education in creating a more just and equal society. He argues that education should focus on developing the moral and intellectual faculties of individuals, rather than simply providing them with practical skills.Overall, A Discourse On Political Economy is a seminal work in the field of political philosophy and economics. It provides a powerful critique of the economic system of Europe during the 18th century and offers a vision of a more just and equal society.If our politicians were less blinded by their ambition, they would see how impossible it is for any establishment whatever to act in the spirit of its institution, unless it is guided in accordance with the law of duty; they would feel that the greatest support of public authority lies in the hearts of the citizens, and that nothing can take the place of morality in the maintenance of government.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
