Almost all inequality comes from the growth of our faculties and is fixed by property and laws

Drawn from what Jean-Jacques Rousseau said

What Jean-Jacques Rousseau actually said

  1. Jean-Jacques Rousseau Genevan philosopher and writer (1712 to 1778)
    It follows from this picture, that as there is scarce any inequality among men in a state of nature, all that which we now behold owes its force and its growth to the development of our faculties and the improvement of our understanding, and at last becomes permanent and lawful by the establishment of property and of laws.
