In 1776 Thomas Jefferson, a future president authored the most explosive document in the history of America: The Declaration of Independence , formally severing the link between America and the British state. Michael Hardt, co-author of the groundbreaking Empire and Multitude , examines this and other texts by Jefferson, arguing that his powerful concept of democracy is, seen through contemporary eyes, a biting critique of the current American administration's tyranny.
Michael Hardt is Associate Professor of Literature and Romance Studies at Duke University, USA. He has written several books including (with Antonio Negri) Empire and Multitude.
