Freeland - Theodor Hertzka - Bog

Freeland is a utopian novel written by Theodor Hertzka, first published in German in 1890. The book describes a fictional society called Freeland, which is a socialist utopia based on the principles of equality, justice, and cooperation. In this society, there is no private property, and all resources are owned collectively. The economy is organized according to the principles of scientific management, with each individual contributing to society according to their abilities and receiving goods and services according to their needs.The story follows the journey of a German engineer named Walter Thomas, who is disillusioned with the capitalist system and seeks a better way of life. He discovers Freeland and becomes enamored with its principles and way of life. He decides to stay and becomes a citizen of Freeland, working as an engineer and contributing to the society's development.Throughout the book, Hertzka explores various themes, including the limitations of capitalism, the benefits of socialism, and the importance of cooperation and equality. He also critiques the traditional family structure and advocates for a more communal approach to child-rearing.Overall, Freeland is a thought-provoking novel that offers a vision of a better society and challenges readers to consider alternative economic and social models.The meeting of the International Free Society at the Hague had, as the reader will remember, conferred full executive power upon the committee for the period of two years. This period expired on the 20th of October, when the Society would have to give itself a new and definitive constitution, and the powers hitherto exercised by the committee would have to be taken over by an administrative body freely elected by the people of Freeland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
