Graham Sumner champions the rights of the individual over the state and organized pressure groups. He defines the important role that the "Forgotten Man" must play in our social and economic development. Average Rating:

The rhetoric is fertile ground for effective debate, as it rarely uses gobblygook economic theory... which fortunately was not around at the time this work was written. No Supply/demand curves here. Rating: - Sumner promoting the virtue of limited government.First published in 1883, Sumner's "What Social Classes Owe to Each Other" is an excellent source for the promotion of limited government. Sumner talks about the "Forgotten Man" in context to the socio-political and economic of a state. He defines the differences between the "weak", "poor" and the "burden" and how the humanitarians, reformers and the philathropists of our society seek forced charities from the "Forgotten Man" to support the above.
