His writing covered a wide range of subjects, but were centered on his core beliefs of republicanism and the inherent rights of people. An early pamphlet of his, \"Common Sense,\" was written soon after he arrived in America from Great Britain; with its focus on the ills of colonialism and the King's veering between rational debate and righteous outrage, it has been cited as one of the major catalysts for the American Revolution. Later work attempted to correct the mistakes he perceived in post-revolution French government-written from experience after his election to the French National Convention-and even suggested a costed plan for a universal basic income funded by an inheritance tax.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollected here are his essays and pamphlets, including the aforementioned \u003cem\u003eCommon Sense\u003c\/em\u003e and other influential works like \u003cem\u003eThe Republican Proclamation, Anti-Monarchal Essay, Declaration of Rights, Dissertation on First Principles of Government, The Decline and Fall of the English System of Finance\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eAgrarian Justice\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Classy Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789355227782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.38d","brand":"Thomas Paine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51911640809653,"sku":"9789355227782","price":22.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_222875f8-4c6e-442f-ab15-639b0b8aac82.jpg?v=1761057011","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/common-sense-and-other-essays-9789355227782","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
