Economy and Utopia

David Reisman

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: In this insightful book, David Reisman examines the various notions of a utopia that emerged in opposition to feudalism and capitalism between the publication of Thomas More’s Utopia in 1516 and William Morris’s News from Nowhere in 1890. The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach to analysing the concept of a utopia, its sources and roots and the spectrum of thought surrounding how it should be created.
