"Man was born free, but he is everywhere in chains" is a famous quote from Rousseau's book "The Social Contract" which he published in 1762. Rousseau believed that society, through the development of private property and the division of labor, had corrupted man's natural goodness and freedom. He argued that the only way to return to a state of freedom was through creating a social contract where individuals voluntarily give up some of their freedoms in exchange for the protection and benefits of society.
