The forgotten man is a political concept in the United States centered on those whose interests have been neglected. The first main invocation of this concept came from William Graham Sumner in an 1883 lecture in Brooklyn entitled The Forgotten Man (published posthumously in 1918) who articulated such a man to be one who has been compelled to pay for reformist programs.
