This book gives readers at all levels access to a vastly influential text of modern philosophy, Rousseau's Second Discourse. Neuhouser evaluates and reconstructs Rousseau's arguments on why economic inequalities are so common in society and the dangers they pose to human well-being: unhappiness, loss of freedom, immorality, conflict, and alienation.
