REMEMBERING NON-REVISED HISTORY: MARCH 1, 2015


Because much rewriting of history is destroying the truth.

Alexis de Tocqueville
French Political Thinker and Historian

Biography
ALEXIS-CHARLES-HENRI CLÉREL DE TOCQUEVILLE (July 29, 1805 – April 16, 1859) was a French political thinker and historian best known for his Democracy in America (appearing in two volumes: 1835 and 1840) and The Old Regime and the Revolution (1856). In both of these works, he analyzed the rising living standards and social conditions of individuals and their relationship to the market and state in Western societies. Democracy in America (1835), his major work, published after his travels in the United States, is today considered an early work of sociology and political science.
