1. Fascinating...I wonder what caused you to find this article. UTOPIA
We search for it in hard times...and never succeed to find it..but, leave thoughts about it for future generations.

I loved this from the article:

“It became apparent to me,” Harriman said in the introduction to Ernest S. Wooster’s Communities of the Past and Present, “that a people would never abandon their means of livelihood, good or bad, capitalistic or otherwise, until other methods were developed which would promise advantages at least as good as those by which they were living.”


My thoughts...Without a Future they can imagine...people will wallow in what they know...no matter how bad it is...they think it will get better...UNTIL IT DOESN'T...and THEN...they search for something else.

UTOPIA!

Thanks for that interesting piece of history... Good Read.

BUT...WHY did you post it here? NOW? :shrug:
