Beyond Poverty and Empire

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The book is an analysis of the political thought of English radical Thomas Spence (1750-1814). Spence is here shown to be a sophisticated, modern thinker, who adopted the poor "swinish multitude" as the privileged interlocutor of his transnational "Plan" for the abolition of private landownership.

Rezensionen

"Thomas Spence, a profound but little known thinker of the revolutionary Atlantic, has long deserved a first-rate biographer and at long last he has found one. Matilde Cazzola brilliantly reveals why Spence was a visionary political philosopher for his own time -- and why he remains one for ours."

Marcus Rediker, co-author of The Many Headed Hydra: Sailors, Slaves, Commoners, and the Hidden History of the Revolutionary Atlantic
