Thomas Paine was an influential revolutionary pamphleteer, whose
writings were instrumental in bringing about some significant
political changes. His mastery of language was rivalled only by
Swift and Cobbett. British-born, he emigrated to America in 1775
where his pamphlet "Common Sense" (1776) was directly responsible
for the coming about of American independence. The "Rights of Man",
published in 1791 became the founding text of the British working
class movement. As part of his argument for man's natural rights
Paine anticipated the Welfare State, arguing as early as 1797 for
poor relief, old-age pensions and unemployment projects. Paine's
importance lies not so much in the depth of his political
philosophy as in his great abilities as communicator of political
ideas. This text dicusses and considers the various implications of
Paine's writings.
