description: "Randolph Silliman Bourne was a progressive writer and intellectual born in Bloomfield, New Jersey, and a graduate of Columbia University. He is considered to be a spokesman for the young radicals living during World War I. His articles appeared in journals including The Seven Arts and The New Republic. Bourne is best known for his essays, especially his unfinished work \"The State,\" discovered after he died. From this essay, which was published posthumously and included in Untimely Papers, comes the phrase \"war is the health of the state\" that laments the success of governments in arrogating authority and resources during conflicts."
