Why Is Common Sense Still Important Today?

On this episode of the Common Sense Podcast: Why is Common Sense by Thomas Paine still important today? It was written over 200 years ago to address the issue of independence from Britain.

To understand the relevance of Common Sense, it’s critical to understand why it was so important in the first place. Read:Why Is Common Sense Still Important Today?
