The Revolt of Democracy

Focusing on political and social policy, this essay examines the welfare of workers and the broader population. Alfred Russel Wallace, a prominent figure in natural sciences, draws from his extensive travels, including his time in the Amazon rainforest, to inform his views. His experiences shaped his thoughts on evolution, culminating in his collaboration with Charles Darwin on natural selection. This republished work includes a new introductory biography, highlighting Wallace’s significant contributions to both science and social thought.
