A Modern Utopia
by H. G. Wells
Wells' incredible ability to highlight the problems that are currently the most acute and to offer preliminary solutions that allow for maximum individual freedom deserves serious consideration. Modern utopia is one of the first important plans for the modern welfare state and is an early comprehensive explanation of Wells' idea of World Power, an idea that has perhaps been the greatest contribution to the intellectual history of this century. In this essence of utopia, Wells summarizes and clarifies the utopias of the past and brings them into contact with the world of today.
