DISCOURSE ON INEQUALITY



 "...from the moment one man needed help from another, and as soon as they found it useful for one man to have provisions enough for two, equality evaporated, property was introduced, and work became mandatory; vast forests were transformed into sunny open country that had to be watered with the sweat of man, and where slavery and adversity were soon to germinate and ripen with the crops."     - Rousseau.
