A Discourse on Inequality by Jean-Jacques Rousseau

3.0

Leaving my modern view and sensibilities aside (some serious sexism and all the isms going on this text…), this was an interesting read. I don’t fully agree with the introduction. This work doesn’t speak to evolution in a truly significant way, but I did find Rousseau’s analysis on society, and the development of a property driven economy being at the root of inequality, interesting and foundational.
