Richard Price

Richard Price (23 February 1723 – 19 April 1791) is a Welsh moral philosopher and preacher in the tradition of English Dissenters, and a political pamphleteer, active in radical, republican, and liberal causes such as the American Revolution.

He fosters connections between a large number of people, including writers of the Constitution of the United States.

He spends most of his adult life as minister of Newington Green Unitarian Church, where possibly the congregant he most influences is early feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, who extends his ideas on the egalitarianism inherent in the spirit of the French Revolution to encompass women's rights as well.

In addition to his work as a moral and political philosopher, he also writes on issues of statistics and finance, and is inducted into the Royal Society for these contributions.
