Various Authors; Fall River 2009
I have never read Common Sense by Thomas Paine before, and living in a monarchy I understand now more than I would have if I had previously encountered the book. I envy the days where a book could stand on its own merit in less than 100 pages. Do contemporary politics suffer because no one makes concise points anymore? If a critique that was written on modern politics was as short, direct, and blunt as Common Sense, everyone would read it.
