Bernard Mandeville (15 November 1670 – 21 January 1733) was a Dutch philosopher. He justified mass executions for petty crimes in England and believed they were necessary for "the Peace of the Society". He also believed that society needed a large exploited class[1] and opposed education for the poor.[2]
