Buy the works of William Graham Sumner on CD.

  • While William Graham Sumner (1840 - 1909) invented “The Forgotten Man,” he may now be a forgotten man. His contribution in economics, politics, history, sociology, philosophy, and anthropology are an enduring addition to human knowledge.
  • His answer to the question, “what do social classes owe to each other?” is that “We each owe it to the other to guarantee rights. Rights do not pertain to results, but only to chances. They pertain to the conditions of the struggle for existence, not to any of the results of it; to the pursuit of happiness, not to the possession of happiness.”
  • No socialist has ever managed to satisfactorily answer his “The Challenge of Facts” or his “Reply to a Socialist.”
