9. Text: Utopia
A utopia is a community or society possessing
highly desirable or perfect qualities. The word
was coined in Greek by Sir Thomas More for his
1516 book Utopia, describing a fictional island
society in the Atlantic Ocean. Chronologically,
the first recorded utopian proposal is Plato's
Republic. It proposes a categorization of citizens
into a rigid class structure of "golden," "silver,"
"bronze" and "iron" socioeconomic classes.

⢠In the early 19th century, several âutopian
socialistâ ideas arose, in response to the belief
that social disruption was created by the
development of commercialism and capitalism.
These ideas shared certain characteristics: an
egalitarian distribution of goods, frequently with
the total abolition of money, and citizens only
doing work which they enjoy and which is for
the common good, leaving them with ample
time for the cultivation of the arts and sciences.

⢠One classic example of such a utopia was
Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward. Another
socialist utopia is William Morris' News from
Nowhere, written partially in response to the
top-down (bureaucratic) nature of Bellamy's
utopia, which Morris criticized. However, as the
socialist movement developed it moved away
from utopianism; Karl Marx in particular became
a harsh critic of earlier socialism he described as
utopian.
12. ContinueâŚ
⢠Utopias have also been imagined by the opposite side
of the political spectrum. For example, Robert A.
Heinlein's The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress portrays an
individualistic and libertarian utopia. Capitalist
utopias of this sort are generally based on free
market economies, in which the presupposition is
that private enterprise and personal initiative without
an institution of coercion, government, provides the
greatest opportunity for achievement and progress of
both the individual and society as a whole.
