JJR marks the formation of society as the origin of inequality. This is tied to the engagement of pursuits requiring more than one person and one day, e.g., agriculture and metallurgy. He demurs from prescribing a return to anarchy in the last paragraph. He instead resigns himself to the fact that he can't live without society, and calls for the reader just to guard against the vices that he described.
