Thoughts On The Cause Of The Present Discontents

""Thoughts On The Cause Of The Present Discontents"" is a political essay written by Edmund Burke in 1770. The book presents Burke's thoughts on the political and social issues of his time, particularly the discontent that was prevalent in England. In the book, Burke argues that the root cause of the discontent was the corruption and incompetence of the ruling class, who were more interested in their own interests than in the welfare of the people they governed. He also discusses the importance of maintaining a balance of power between the different branches of government, and the need for a strong and independent judiciary. The book is considered a classic of political philosophy and a significant contribution to the development of conservative thought. It remains relevant today as a commentary on the challenges of maintaining a just and equitable society.THIS 92 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works Of Edmund Burke V1, by Edmund Burke.
