Raamatust

In «The Forgotten Man, and Other Essays,» William Graham Sumner presents a compelling critique of societal and governmental interventions in the lives of individuals, emphasizing the concept of the 'forgotten man'—the ordinary citizen who bears the consequences of policies aimed at helping others. Sumner's literary style is marked by a blend of incisive argumentation and accessible prose, revealing an ethical and philosophical exploration of individualism versus collectivism. The essays reflect the intellectual currents of the late 19th century, particularly the rise of social Darwinism and classical liberal thought, urging readers to reconsider the balance between liberty and state responsibility in a rapidly industrializing society. William Graham Sumner, a prominent sociologist and economist, was deeply influenced by his experiences as a professor at Yale and his keen interest in social theory. A pioneer in applying Darwinian principles to social issues, Sumner's work is characterized by a sharp critique of altruism in social policy. His background and scholarly endeavors inform the essays' arguments, making them not merely theoretical but grounded in the realities of contemporary societal challenges. «The Forgotten Man, and Other Essays» is a must-read for those interested in the foundations of American economic thought and the historical context of individual rights. Sumner's thought-provoking arguments encourage readers to reflect on the implications of social policies and the importance of recognizing the often-overlooked individual amid collective action.
