A collection bringing together extracts from the principal economic writings of Henri de Saint-Simon (1760-1825) in English translation, with a substantial introductory essay by the editor Felix Markham.

‘Saint-Simon believed that the study of society should be conducted on a scientific basis; that a positive, empirical science of society was both necessary and possible. Society, he argued, was like an organism governed by natural laws; and a ‘healthy’ society was one which is well organised. Proper recognition of this fact would make possible the reconstruction of society on sound foundations – utopia would become constructible through the application of science to society’ (New Palgrave).
