The Declaration of Independence (Revolutions)

Co-author of the groundbreaking Empire and Multitude, Michael Hardt examines the Declaration of Independence and other texts by Jefferson, arguing that his powerful concept of democracy provides a biting critique of the current American administration.

The Declaration of Independence was the explosive manifesto for the American Revolution. Introducing this collection of Jefferson's writings, Michael Hardt, co-author of the modern classics Empire and Multitude, makes a powerful case for re-examining the foundational writings of this American revolutionary in order to reignite the dialogue that first conceived of a "land of the free."
