Rousseau's concepts of \"the general will\" as a mode of self-interest uniting for a common good, and the submission of the individual to government by contract inform the heart of democracy, and stand as its most contentious components today. Also included in this edition is Rousseau's \u003cem\u003eDiscourse on Political Economy\u003c\/em\u003e\", a key transitional work between his \u003cem\u003eDiscourse on Inequality\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Social Contract\u003c\/em\u003e. This new translation offers fresh insight into a cornerstone of political thought, which is further illuminated by a comprehensive introduction and notes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series: \u003c\/strong\u003eFor over 100 years \u003cstrong\u003eOxford World's Classics\u003c\/strong\u003e has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
