==Utopians and Socialists==
'''Heterodox economics''' refers to a relatively small but growing ''movement'' among economists who are seeking to gain acceptance of their ideas into mainstream economic thinking and scholarly discourse.  Thinkers within the movement seek to organize various economic traditions, including post-Keynesianism, old institutionalism, feminist, social, and Marxian and Austrian economics under its new umbrella, according to the movement's view of what such traditions hold in common. In doing so, the heterodox economics movement seeks to distinguish its conceptualizations from what it views as "mainstream economics", which the movement engages yet opposes on some fundamental concepts.

==Criticisms==

Rousseau's work had little direct impact on economics, but exerted  a substantial indirect influence. He shared with his fellow Enlightenment philosophers the faith in the existence of a ''"natural state"'' of society - which one could thereby extend to social equilibrium and ''"natural value"'' concepts - which were very much ingrained in the thinking of the [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/schools/physioc.htm [[Physiocrats]]] and [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/smith.htm [[Adam Smith]]]. His appeal to this state via his ''"natural man"'', the ''"noble savage"'' is reminiscent of the analogies formed in modern economics.
 
A thorough pessimist about existing human society, Rousseau recognized that this ''"natural state"'' was perverted by ''"civilization"'' and that the appetites and motivations of civilized man had been consequently corrupted and constructed by his interaction with society - ''"Man is born free and is everywhere in chains"'', he wrote in his famous opening to the ''Social Contract'' <ref name=SOCIALCONTRACT>[http://www.constitution.org/jjr/socon.htm ROSSEAU, Jean-Jacques. ''The Social Contract, or Principles of Political Right''. 1762.<small>Translated by G. D. H. Cole, public domain. Rendered into HTML and text by Jon Roland of the Constitution Society</small>.]</ref> 
 
The "natural state", Rousseau claimed, could only be achieved via wholesale social reform which envisioned a collective state with extra-personal dedication to a ''"General Will"''''. Only in such a state, Rousseau asserted, could the true ''"natural man"'' exist and be truly free. It is these last observations that make Rousseau the father of ''Socialism'' (utopian and otherwise) - and earned him much emnity from later anti-Socialists such as [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/hayek.htm [[Friedrich August von Hayek|Hayek]]]

His publications got him arrested and his books were burned throughout France. He ran off to England, being hosted and supported by [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/hume.htm [[David Hume]]] where he wrote his polemical ''Letters from the Mountain'' <ref name=MOUTAIN> ROSSEAU, Jean-Jacques.

(1815).
 
===Utopian Socialism===
 
====St. Thomas More 1477-78? - 1535====
 
'''St. Thomas More''', saint, knight, Lord Chancellor of England, author and martyr, was born in London, 7 February, 1477-78; executed at Tower Hill, 6 July, 1535.
 
Of his writings the most famous is the [http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/phl302/texts/more/utopia-contents.html ''Utopia''] <ref name=UTOPIA>[http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/phl302/texts/more/utopia-contents.html MORE, St. Thomas. ''Utopia''. New York: Ideal Commonwealths. P.F. Collier & Son; The Colonial Press; 1901.<small> This book is in public domain;  Internet Wiretap; July 1993. Prepared by Kirk Crady (kcrady@polaris.cv.nrao.edu), first published in 1516</small>.]</ref>
 
The volume recounts the fictitious travels of one Raphael Hythlodaye, a mythical character, who, in the course of a voyage to America, was left behind near Cape Frio and thence wandered on till he chanced upon the ''Island of Utopia'' ("nowhere") in which he found an ideal constitution in operation.
 
The whole work is really an exercise of the imagination with much brilliant satire upon the world of More's own day. Real persons, such as Peter Giles, Cardinal Morton, and More himself, take part in the dialogue with Hythlodaye, so that an air of reality pervades the whole which leaves the reader sadly puzzled to detect where truth ends and fiction begins, and has led not a few to take the book seriously. But this is precisely what More intended, and there can be no doubt that he would have been delighted at entrapping William Morris, who discovered in it a complete gospel of Socialism; or Cardinal Zigliara, who denounced it as "no less foolish than impious"; as he must have been with his own contemporaries who proposed to hire a ship and send out missionaries to his non-existent island. The book ran through a number of editions in the original Latin version and, within a few years, was translated into German, Italian, French, Dutch, Spanish, and English.
 
A collected edition of More's English works was published by William Rastell, his nephew, at London in 1557; it has never been reprinted and is now rare and costly. The first collected edition of the Latin Works appeared at Basle in 1563; a more complete collection was published at Louvain in 1565 and again in 1566. In 1689 the most complete edition of all appeared at Frankfort-on-Main, and Leipzig. Lakowski compiled a full bybliography of More's writtings, see: [http://extra.shu.ac.uk/emls/01-2/lakomore.html LAKOWSKI, Romuald Ian. ''A Bibliography of Thomas More's Utopia''; Early Modern Literary Studies 1.2 (1995): 6.1-10]
 
====John Locke, 1632-1704====
 
'''John Locke''' was an empiricist philosopher, [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/schools/optimist.htm#natural natural law] social thinker and Whig political theorist, John Locke was nonetheless a rather traditional Mercantilist in his economics. Locke developed a ''theory of money'' in his 1691 ''Considerations'' <ref name=CONSEQUENCES>[http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/econ/ugcm/3ll3/locke/consid.txt LOCKE, John. ''Some Considerations of the Consequences of the Lowering of Interest and the Raising the Value of Money''. London: Printed for Awnsham and John Churchill, at the Black Swan in Pater-Noster-Row; 1691]</ref>, after Child's promoted low interes rate.
 
Locke introduced the concept of ''"money as convention"'' as well as, following [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/bodin.htm Bodin], the main elements of the [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/essays/money/quantity.htm ''QuantityTheory of Money''], notably the concept of ''"velocity"''.
 
In his 1690 [http://www.lonang.com/exlibris/locke/ ''Treatises''] <ref name=TREATISES>[http://www.lonang.com/exlibris/locke/ LOCKE, John. ''Two Treatises on Government''. London: Printed for Awnsham and John Churchill, at the Black Swan in Pater-Noster-Row; 1698.]</ref> , he proposes a quite explicit ''labor theory of value''.  In his 1692 [http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/econ/ugcm/3ll3/locke/consid.txt ''Consequences''] <ref name=CONSEQUENCES>[http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/econ/ugcm/3ll3/locke/consid.txt LOCKE, John. ''Some Considerations of the Consequences of the Lowering of Interest and the Raising the Value of Money''. London: Printed for Awnsham and John Churchill, at the Black Swan in Pater-Noster-Row; 1691]</ref> Locke adheres to a ''demand-based theory of value''. [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/law.htm John Law (1705)] did much to clarify the confusion between them.
 
Locke also proposed a theory of property in his 1690 ''Treatises'' <ref name=TREATISES>[http://www.lonang.com/exlibris/locke/ LOCKE, John. ''Two Treatises on Government''. London: Printed for Awnsham and John Churchill, at the Black Swan in Pater-Noster-Row; 1698.]</ref>.  The right to property, Locke claims,  is derived from the labor of those who work it.  More specifically, he perceives that as ''"labor"'' is naturally ''"owned"'' by the person in whom it is embodied, then consequently anything that labor is applied to, is similarly ''"owned"'' by the laborer -- a rather [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/schools/marxian.htm ''proto-Marxian''] notion.  Locke's ''"natural labor theory of property"'' stands in stark contrast to that of [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/hobbes.htm Hobbes], who conceived of property merely as a State guarantee, and of [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/schools/optimist.htm#grotius Grotius], who contended that property emerges from social consent.
 
====Robert Owen, 1771-1858====
 
'''Robert Owen''', an utopian socialist,  founded the famous [http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/IRowen.htm ''[[New Lanark Mills]]''] in Scotland as an example of the viability of co-operative factory communities. <ref name=LANARK1>[http://www.robert-owen.com/ OWEN, Robert. ''Extract from Robert Owen's "Address to the Inhabitants of New Lanark" New Year's Day, 1816''.]</ref>
 
Many industrialists actually visited these ''"model factories"'' and some even adopted parts of Owen's system. Owen attempted to extend these into agriculture - advocating collective farming, as in New Harmony, Indiana. Although most of these efforts failed, he continued on his social work -
becoming the head of one of the largest trade union federations in Britain in 1843.
 
====Étienne Cabet, 1788-1856====
 
'''Étienne Cabet''' was a lawyer and journalist and a politician of the left-wing newspaper, La Populaire.  His political activities led to his exile in England, after being condemned to death in 1834. He published [http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k86104q.item ''Lettres sur la crise actuelle''], six letters in one volume.
 
In his 1839 utopian novel, [http://www.library.cornell.edu/Reps/DOCS/cabet.htm ''Voyage en Icarie''] <ref name=ICARIE>[http://www.library.cornell.edu/Reps/DOCS/cabet.htm CABET, Étienne. ''Voyage en Icarie''. Augustus M Kelley Pubs,; 1973. ISBN 0678010226]</ref>  Cabet introduces '''communism''' as the greatest realization of democracy and the direct descendent of Christian principles.
 
====François-Marie-Charles Fourier, 1772-1837====
 
::Le bonheur ne consiste qu'à satisfaire ses passions... Le bonheur, sur lequel on a tant raisonné ou plutôt tant déraisonné, consiste à avoir beaucoup de passions et beaucoup de moyens de les satisfaire. <small> Fourier</small>
 
'''Charles Fourier''', a French socialist philosopher, is the creator of ''Fourierism'', a moral system of social organization based upon what he called the '' passional attractions''. Fourier was an outright utopian: anti-state, anti-industry, anti-liberal, anti-competition and anti-urban He distanced himself from the socialists who wanted the abolition of private property.
 
A contemporary of [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/saintsimon.htm Saint-Simon], the "half mad" Fourier envisaged a utopian society in ''"natural harmony"'' with the cosmos that could be achieved by non-violent means. He advocated the setting up phalanxes, a type of production and consumption co-operative enterprise or society.  Through his main publications and  the monthly review ''Réforme industrietlle'' and the daily newspaper ''Démocratie pacifique'', Fourier collected numerous followers, many of whom attempted (and failed) at setting up these mini-societies.  He was highly disliked by the [[Marxist Socialism|Marxians]].
 
In the United States, ''Fourierism'' was introduced to the American public in 1840 when a New Yorker named Albert Brisbane published a compendium of Fourier's writings entitled ''Social Destiny of Man: or Association and Reorganization of Industry'' <ref name=BRISBANE>BRISBANE, Albert. ''Social Destiny of Man: or Association and Reorganization of Industry''. Philadelphia: Dial Essays; 1841; 12mo. pp. 480.</ref>. Brisbane also posted a column in ''The New York Tribune'' in March of 1842 and it reached the Transcendentalists in particular with Emerson's essay on [http://www.vcu.edu/engweb/transcendentalism/authors/emerson/essays/fourierism.html ''"Fourierism and Socialists"''] <ref name=EMERSON>[http://www.emersoncentral.com/ EMERSON, Ralph Waldo ''Texts'' <small>searchable</small>]</ref>.
 
Fourier developed his ideas in the following publications: ''Théorie des quatre mouvements et des destinées générales'', 1808, in-8°; ''Traité de l'association domestique et agricole'', Paris, 1822, 2 vol. in-8°; ''Sommaire de la théorie d'association agricole, ou attraction industrielle'', Besançon, 1828, in-8°; ''Le Nouveau monde industriel, ou invention du procédé d'industrie attrayante et combinée, distribuée en séries passionnées'', Paris, 1831, in-8°: ''La Fausse Industrie morcelée, répugnante, mensongère, et l'antidote, l'industrie naturelle combinée, attrayante, véridique, donnant quadruple produit'', Paris, 1835-36, 2 vol. in-12.
 
===Ricardian Socialism===
 
====Introduction====
 
'''The Classical Labor Theory of Value:'''
 
[[Adam Smith]] stated: ''"The real price of everything, what everything really costs to the man who wants to acquire it, is the toil and trouble of acquiring it.... Labour was the first price, the original purchase-money that was paid for all things."'' However Smith's formulation was not very clear cut: he also said that the value of a commodity in one's possession as consisting of ''"the quantity of the labour which he can command...."'' Smith, on other passages, explained the market price of labor as ''the source of its effect on exchange value''. <ref name=INQUIRY>[http://www.econlib.org/library/Smith/smWN.html SMITH, Adam (1723-1790). ''An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations''. London: Methuen and Co., Ltd., ed. Edwin Cannan, 1904. Fifth edition. <small>(Downloadable)</small>]</ref>
 
[[David Ricardo]], in his ''Principles of Political Economy and Taxation'' <ref name=RICARDO>[http://socserv2.socsci.mcmaster.ca/~econ/ugcm/3ll3/ricardo/prin/index.html RICARDO, David. ''The Principles of Political Economy and Taxation''. 1815 (third ed. 1821). Hamilton, Ontario: McMaster University.]</ref> cleared Smith's early inconsistencies: ''"The value of a commodity, or the quantity of any other commodity for which it will exchange, depends on the relative quantity of labour which is necessary for its production, and not as the greater or less compensation which is paid for that labour"''.
 
The emerging socialist movement seized on the political implications of this conclusion.
 
::''"So if cloth or cotton goods be divided between the workman and his employer, the larger the proportion given to the former, the less remains for the latter,"'' socialists began to claim. This gave origin to the movement called ''"Ricardian Socialists"''.
 
[[Engels]] said:
 
::''"Insofar as modern socialism, no matter of what tendency, starts out from bourgeois political economy, it almost without exception takes up the Ricardian theory of value. The two propositions which Ricardo proclaimed in 1817 right at the beginning of his Principles, 1) that the value of any commodity is purely and solely determined by the quantity of labour required for its production, and 2) that the product of the entire social labor is divided among the three classes: landowners (rent), capitalists (profit), and workers (wages)--these two propositions had ever since 1821 been utilized in England for socialist conclusions, and in part with such pointedness and resolution that this literature, which had then almost been forgotten and was to a large extent only rediscovered by Marx, remained surpassed until the appearance of ''Capital''.
 
::''"The actual extent to which Marx's theory of value is a straightforward outgrowth of Ricardo's, and to which it was a preexisting Hegelian philosophy with Ricardian elements grafted on, is an issue in dispute.7 But for the present purpose, we will treat Marx's theory of value as relevant to our study to the extent that it is amenable to a Ricardian approach."'' <ref name=ENGELS1>[http://www.marx2mao.com/M&E/PP47.html#pref1 ENGELS, Friederich. ''Preface to the first German Edition''; ''The Poverty of Philosophy: Answer to the "Philosophy of Poverty by M. Proudhon''. Paris and Brussels in 1847 <small> first published in pamphlet form</small>]</ref>
 
=====Dr. Charles Hall, 1745-1825=====
 
'''Dr. Charles Hall''' on his book ''The Effects of Civilization on the People in European States'' (1805), one of the earliest works of British socialism, took the Ricardian ''labor theory of value'' to its logical extreme - i.e. the concept of ''labor exploitation''.
 
Hall draws a contrast between civilization and savagery, and becomes immediately struck by the greater inequalities in the former. Contemporary socialists often misquoted his claims, exagerating and inventing for effect. (e.g. only 1/8th of total product was kept by labor).
 
=====Thomas Hodgskin, 1787-1869=====
 
'''Thomas Hodgskin''' was on of the earliest anarchists. On his book ''Popular Political Economy'' (1828), perhaps the best textbook in socialist economics at the time, Hodgskin took the Ricardian ''labor theory of value'' to its exploitation logic, but preferred to criticize the social organization rather than recommend any utopian visions for it.
 
Curiously Hodgskin later became involved with ''"The Economist"'', the famous British weekly publication, founded in 1843 by a group of  Manchester's textile industrialists, a strong advocate of ''classic liberalism'' and ''laisse-faire'' economic policies.
 
=====John Gray, 1799-1850=====
 
'''John Gray''', a failed businessman, was among the first'' Ricardian Socialists'' to stress the ''"human element"'' in the destructiveness of competition. He recommended co-operative institutions for exchange and production, as a substitute method.
 
Gray wrote ''Lecture on Human Happiness'' (1825), ''The Social System'' (1831), ''Remedy for the Distress of Nature'' (1842) and ''Money"" (1848).
 
=====John Francis Bray, 1809-1895=====
 
'''John Francis Bray''' turned to the Ricardian ''labor exploitation'' thesis and recommended the setting up of worker co-operatives in a communal property system. Bray wrote ''Labour's Wrongs and Labour's Remedy'' (1839) and ''A Voyage from Utopia'' (18??).
 
===Saint-Simonism===
 
====Claude Henri de Rouvroy, Comte de Saint-Simon, 1760-1825====
 
'''Henri de Saint-Simon''' is the founder of the [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/saintsimon.htm ''"Saint-Simonian"''] movement, a type of semi-mystical ''"Christian-Scientific"'' socialism that pervaded the XIXth Century.
 
Saint-Simon contibutions were crucial for the development of the social sciences:  his call for a ''"science of society"'' on the same standing as the ''natural sciences'', was highly influential on [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/comte.htm Auguste Comte] and the sociologists and was responsible for the initial scientific pretensions of [[economics]]. [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/carlyle.htm Thomas Carlyle], [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/chevalier.htm Michel Chevalier], [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/mill.htm John Stuart Mill]  and  [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/walras.htm Léon Walras] were adepts of ''Saint-Simonism''. 
 
Saint-Simon proposed the reorganization of society with an elite of philosophers, engineers and scientists leading a process of industrialization tamed by their ''"rational"'' Christian-Humanism. His advocacy of a ''"New Christianity"'', a secular humanist religion, was to have scientists as priests. This was actually taken up by two of his followers -- Barthelemy-Prosper Enfantin (1796-1864) and Saint-Amand Bazard (1791-1832) -- and the Simonist movement became influenced by bizarre mysticism and ritual. 
 
Saint-Simon's vision was highly influential on French society ( and more generally, throughout Europe) all through the 19th Century, including the Emperor Napoleon III.  The political highwater-mark of Saint-Simonism was perhaps the French July Revolution of 1830.  But the influence of Saint-Simonism on future versions of socialism was more pronounced.  Saint-Simon's "scientism" was particularly influential on the development of Marxian doctrine -- and,  for that same reason, Saint-Simon was condemned by Hayek (1952). 
 
Saint-Simon was one of the first to identify the process of ''"industrialization"'' in Europe, but his concern with the laboring classes was more reserved, although he streesed the ''"unnaturalness"'' of unemployment.  In general, Saint-Simon's elitism distinguished him from the later more ''"labor-orientated"''  socialist thinkers -- notably those radicalized by the 1848 Revolution, such as Blanc and Proudhon. 
 
Saint-Simon's enthusiasm for the ''"spontaneous harmony"'' of the ''"organism"'' of industrial society has led some to claim that he was really a ''Classical Liberal'' in disguise.  The Saint-Simonian critique on private property was due more to his followers (notably Enfantin) than himself. But Saint-Simon was clearly a ''dirigiste'' in economic policy.
 
The influence of Saint-Simonism on socialism was pronounced. Saint-Simon's ''"scientism"'' was particularly influential on the development of Marxian doctrine, what made Saint-Simon to be condemned by [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/hayek.htm Hayek] (1952).
 
===Revolutionary Anarcho-Socialism===
 
====Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, 1809-1865====
 
'''Pierre-Joseph Proudhon''' was a French socialist-anarchist. To his famous own question: ''"What is property"'', title of his book, <ref name=PROUDHON1>[http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/toc/modeng/public/ProProp.html PROUDHON, Pierre-Joseph. ''What is Property? An Inquiry into the Principle of Right and of Government''. New York: Dover, 1970. <small>Translated from the French by Benj. R. Tucker. Originally published by Humboldt Publishing Company, 1890.</small>.]</ref>, Proudhon would answer: ''"property is theft"''.
 
Proudhon proposed a complete reorganization of society that abolished most of its "trappings", including money and the state itself. He advocated communitarianism as the form of reorganization of society.  He argued that ''"goodwill"'' would emerge naturally once these ''"social constructs"'' were gone. [[Marx]] was one of his most severe critics and wrote  ''Poverty of Philosophy'' <ref name=MARX1>[http://www.marx2mao.com/M&E/PP47.html#pref1 MARX, Karl. ''The Poverty of Philosophy: Answer to the "Philosophy of Poverty by M. Proudhon''. Paris and Brussels in 1847 <small> first published in pamphlet form</small>]</ref> (1847) directly against Proudhon.  Léon Walras (1860) also criticized Proudhon.
 
====Jean-Joseph Louis Blanc, 1813-1882====
 
'''Jean-Joseph Louis Blanc'''  was a radical French socialist. A journalist, Louis Blanc was greatly responsible for unleashing the 1848 Revolution with his 1841 account of the corruption of the orleanist regime. By 1848 Blanc's issued a pamphlet which called for state-fostered industrial employment via producer cooperatives that would replace private industry.
 
Blanc expressed the communist ideal of ''"from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs"'', and converted the rebellious Parisian masses to the socialist cause, giving the whole revolution a decidedly more labor-oriented tone. 
 
Blanc was talked by the working classes into seating in the provisional government, a post where he stood very uncomfortably between republicans like Lamartine and radicals like Blanqui, being distrusted by both. 
 
After the fall of the revolutionary government Blanc remained exiled to Britain, until 1871.  Gradually he tempered his radicalism, calling only for State involvement in social programs and income redistribution.  Blanc's ideas were to be very influential on later State socialists like Lassalle.  Blanc refused to endorse the Paris Commune of 1870-1. 
 
Blanc publisehd several books, some very large.  Among his works we can mention: ''L'Organisation du travail''  - excerpts.

====Mikhail Alexandrovich Bakunin, 1814-1876====
 
'''Bakunin''' was an anarchist and a well-known Russian revolutionary. He is and often considered to be one of the "fathers" of modern anarchism.
 
Born in 1814 in Tsarist Russia, Bakunin quickly developed a burning hatred of injustice. At age 21 he resigned from the army and began to mix in democratic circles. Nine years later he met up with radicals like [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/proudhon.htm Proudhon] and [http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/marx.htm Marx] in Paris. At this point he had formulated a theory which saw freedom being achieved by a general rising, linked to revolutions in the subject nations.
 
His campaigns for ''"democracy"'' and ''"anti-colonialism"'' made him ''"public enemy number one"'' in the eyes of most European monarchies. In 1848 he was expelled from France for supporting the independence for Poland.
 
Bakunin played a leading role in the May insurrection in Dresden where he was arrested and sentenced to death. The Austrian monarchy also wanted him, so he was extradited and again sentenced to death. But before he could be executed Russia demanded his extradition and he spent the following six years jailed without trial in the Peter and Paul Fortress an then was exiled to Siberia, from where he escaped in 1861.
 
As his ideas developed further and Bakunin became an exponent of ''anarchism''. While agreeing with much of marxian economic theory, he rejected Marx's authoritarian politics he was responsible for the major division within the ''"International"''. His disagreements with Marx caused him to be expelled form the Communist party.
 
While Marx proposed that socialism could be built by taking over the state, Bakunin looked forward to its ''"destruction"'' and the creation of a new society based on free federations of free workers. Taking over the state, Bakunin reasoned, would only replace the old tyrans with new ones, a phenomenon the Russian Revolution of 1917 confirmed.
 
He cautioned the intelectuals against trying to take power and create a ''"dictatorship of the proletariat"''. The notion that a small group of people, no matter how well meaning, could execute a ''"coup d'etat"'' was for Bakunin a heresy against common sense. More than sixty years before the Russian revolution he warned that a new class of intellectuals and semi-intellectuals might seek to step into the shoes of the landlords and bosses, and deny working people their freedom.
 
For Bakunin governments are the means by which a ''minority'' rules. As ''"political power"'', for him,  meant the concentration of authority in a few hands, he declared, it must be abolished. Instead there must be a ''"social revolution"'' which will change the relationship between people and place power in the hands of the masses through their own federation of voluntary organisations.
 
A political activist and revolutionary, Bakunin never found enoug time to finish writing a single book. His legacy is composed mostly of manifests and small unfinished works. <ref name=BAKUNIN>[http://dwardmac.pitzer.edu/Anarchist_Archives/bakunin/BakuninCW.html BAKUNIN, Mikhail Alexandrovich.

===Marxist Socialism===
 
'''[[Marxist Socialism]]''' was a movement mainly led by [[Friedrich Engels]] <ref name=ENGELSHET>[http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/engels.htm Friedrich Engels]</ref> (1820-1895), [[Karl Kautsky]] <ref name=KAUTSKYHET>[http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/kautsky.htm Karl Kautsky]</ref> and the [[Marxian School of economics|Marxian school]] <ref name=MARXIANSCHOHET>[http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/schools/marxian.htm Marxian School]</ref>, [[Georges Sorel]] <ref name=SORELHET>[http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/sorel.htm Georges Sorel]</ref> (1847-1922) and [[G.D.H. Cole]] <ref name=COLEHET>[http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/schools/fabian.htm#cole G.D.H. Cole]</ref> (1890-1959) based upon ''[[marxist economics]]''.
 
'''''"[[Marxist economics]]"''''' <ref name=MARXIANSCHOHET>[http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/schools/marxian.htm Marxian School]</ref> is an '''economic theory of capitalism''' centered Marx's critical analysis of David Ricardo's ''theory of value''.
 
:::''"From the viewpoint of pure economic theory, Karl Marx can be regarded as a minor post-Ricardian"''.<small> [[Paul Samuelson]],The American Economic Review, March 1962, pp. 12-15</small>
 
'''''"[[Marxist Socialism|Marxist socialism]]"''''', or ''"socialism"'' as conceived by Marx himself, also called ''"mechanical socialism"'' <ref name=MECHANICAL>[http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1911hobhouse.html HOBHOUSE, L. T ''Liberalism'' (1911), excerts. Internet Modern History Sorcebook]</ref> supposes a class war, resting on the clear-cut distinction devised by Marx, and conceives a logically developed system of the control of the economy by government. For Marx the emergence of the ''new socialist society'' would be revolutionary.
 
This movement will be thoroughly analyzed in the article [[Marxist Socialism]]
 
===Young Hegelians and State Socialism===
 
In his youth Karl Marx belonged to a group of young philosophers known as the '''Young Hegelians''' <ref name= IDEOLOGIES> [http://www.historyguide.org/intellect/lecture23a.html ''The Age of Ideologies: General Introduction''<small>The History Guide's Lectures on Modern European Intellectual History</small>]</ref>. They met frequently in a a tavern, the Doctor’s Club, in Berlin. The Young Hegelians were left-wing exponents of the Hegelian fusion. All the Young Hegelians believed that Hegel’s thought represented the most advanced creation of the human mind. But they thought it needed to be reformulated, adjusted, and modified to fit their way of thinking. Hegel’s idealism, they said, should be stood on its head. Hegel had it backwards. Reality is material -- it is phenomenal. Reality is not spiritual. Reality is not ideas, it is not thought, abstract and anonymous thought. Ideas, any ideas, all ideas, are only a projection of reality, not the other way around.
 
So, with the Young Hegelians, out goes the old and in comes the new. Materialism replaced idealism. The Idea of God was invented as a symbol for human ideals and goals. So argues the materialist. It served its useful purpose, but now -- 1840, Berlin -- it could be abandoned because it had become, God had become, aware of himself! For Ludwig Feuerbach (1804-1872), theology became anthropology -- the goal of social perfection lay not in ideas but through social action -- the action of men and women, living, breathing and producing individuals.
 
The Young Marx immersed himself in the debates of the Young Hegelians <ref name= IDEOLOGIES> [http://www.historyguide.org/intellect/lecture23a.html ''The Age of Ideologies: General Introduction''<small>The History Guide's Lectures on Modern European Intellectual History</small>]</ref>. He went on to define his own position by criticizing the Young Hegelians. In fact, nearly all of Marx’s writings between 1841 and 1848 are concerned with a line-by-line critique of his fellow Hegelians. Marx had to clear the air. He had to start anew. He had to stand Hegel on his feet. In one of his earliest writings, ''The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844'' (also known as the ''Paris Manuscripts''), Marx does incessant battle with Hegel and a Germany whose philosophers somehow missed the true significance of the Old Master. Had not Hegel taught that the dialectic goes on? Did he not teach that each age has its own statement to make? Hegel had made the ultimate statement for his generation -- and the next generation must do the same. The Hegelians believed that after 1831, that after the death of Hegel, speculative thought had gone as far as it could go. Hegel caused philosophical history to come to an end.
 
Marx thought otherwise. What remained was to stand Hegel on his feet. What remained was to unite theoria and praxis, that is, to translate thought into action. As Marx himself wrote in 1845,
 
::The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point, however, is to change it.<small>Karl Marx</small>
 
The age of metaphysics and epistemology was dead. Henceforth, the age of social action and social theory would fill the void. With Marx, the sole aim and interest of humanity is to discover and create the good society on earth.
 
===Christian Socialism===
 
In London, on 10th April, 1848, a group of Christians, among them Frederick Denison Maurice, Charles Kingsley and Thomas Hughes, who supported Chartism held a meeting .  The meeting was a response to the decision by the House of Commons to reject the recent Chartist Petition. The men, who became known as ''[[Christian Socialists]]'' <ref>[http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/REsocialism.htm Christina Socialists, at Spartacus]</ref>, discussed how the Church could help to prevent revolution by tackling what they considered were the reasonable grievances of the working class.
 
Frederick Denison Maurice was acknowledged as the leader of the group and his book ''The Kingdom of Christ'' (1838) became the theological basis of Christian Socialism. In the book Maurice argued that politics and religion are inseparable and that the church should be involved in addressing social questions. Maurice rejected individualism, with its competition and selfishness, and suggested a socialist alternative to the economic principles of ''laissez faire''. Christian Socialists promoted the cooperative ideas of Robert Owen <ref name=LANARK1>[http://www.robert-owen.com/ OWEN, Robert. ''Extract from Robert Owen's "Address to the Inhabitants of New Lanark" New Year's Day, 1816''.]</ref> and suggested profit sharing as a way of improving the status of the working classes and as a means of producing a just, Christian society.
 
The Christian Socialists published two journals, Politics of the People (1848-1849) and The Christian Socialist (1850-51). The group also produced a series of pamphlets under the title Tracts on Christian Socialism. Disagreements between members resulted in the Christian Socialists being inactive between 1854 and the late 1870s. In the 1880s there was a revival of the movement. By the end of theXIXth century numerous Christian Socialist groups had been formed including the Socialist Quaker Society, the Roman Catholic Socialist Society, the Guild of St. Matthew, and the Christian Social Union.
 
Christian Socialists also dominated the Independent Labour Party formed in 1893. The Christian Socialist movement also influenced many of the leaders of the American Socialist Party such as Norman Thomas and Upton Sinclair.
 
===American Populists and Socialists===
 
* '''Henry Charles Carey''', 1793-1879
 
'''Henry Charles Carey''', 1793-1879was an American economist proponent of optimistic, domestic ''laissez-faire'' in the style of the ''[[Manchester School]]''. He was nonetheless a doctrinaire protectionist as far as foreign trade are concerned. His ideas are perhaps more closely in line with the land theories of value of [[Cantillon]] and the [[Physiocrats]].
 
* ''''Henry George''', 1839-1897.
 
'''Henry George''' was an American political economist, born in Philadelphia, 2 Sept. 1839. He published ''Progress and Poverty'', which was issued in the following year in New York and London, and soon acquired a world-wide reputation. This book is "an inquiry into the cause of industrial depressions and of increase of want with increase of wealth", in which the previously held doctrines as to the distribution of wealth and the tendency of wages to a minimum are examined and reconstructed. In the fact that rent tends to increase not only with increase of population but with all improvements that increase productive power, Mr. George finds the cause of the well-known tendency to the increase of land values and to the decrease of the proportion of the produce of wealth that goes to labor and capital, while in the speculative holding of land thus engendered he traces the tendency to force wages to a minimum and the primary cause of paroxysms of industrial depression.
 
The remedy for these he declares to be the appropriation of rent by the community, thus making land virtually common property, while giving the user secure possession and leaving to the producer the full advantage of his exertion and investment.''In 1881 he published “The Irish Land Question'', and in 1883-4 he made another trip at the invitation of the Scottish land restoration league, producing on both tours a marked effect.  He has also published ''Social Problems'' (1884), and ''Protection or Free-Trade'” (1886). The latter is a radical examination of the tariff question, in which connection is made between the controversy on that subject and the views as to land with which Mr. George has become identified.
 
* '''Richard T. Ely''', 1854-1943.
 
Considered to be a ''German Historicist'' in American clothing, Richard T. Ely was one of the proponents of the ''historical method'' in America and  a forerunner of the ''[[American Institutionalist School]]''.  He was the teacher and mentor of both John R. Commons and Wesley C. Mitchell.
 
Ely was educated at Columbia University and obtained his doctorate degrre from Heidelberg, in 1879.  Returning to America he joined the faculty of the Johns Hopkins University, then the first American university to give ''"serious"'' graduate degrees.  Ely's efforts to transplant ''German Historicism'' into American academia led to a bitter methodological battle in the 1880s with his conservative colleague, Simon Newcomb.
 
Richard Ely was, with Seligman and Adams, the organizer and founder of the ''American Economic Association'' (AEA) in 1885, on an attempt to emulate ''Schmoller's Verein für Sozialpolitik'' on American soil
 
The AEA became entangled in the raging methodological controversy between old school conservatives and new school historicists.  The AEA eventually abandoned Ely's vision as a normative body for social progress to become a more staid professional organization.  The AEA still attaches Ely's name to its yearly distinguished lecture.
 
In 1892, Ely moved to the ''"progressive"'' University of Wisconsin with his pupil John R. Commons.  Under Ely that the empirical and labor bent long since associated with the University of Wisconsin was initiated.  It quickly became the primary breeding ground for the new generation which became the ''American Institutionalist school''.
 
Ely's position on labor movements and Christian socialism eventually got him in trouble again. The University of Wisconsin's controversial ''"trial"'' of Ely in 1894 led to a rallying of American scholars in defense of academic freedom in the U.S.  Ely's work on labor movements abated slowly as Ely grew increasingly conservative and concentrated on land economics.
 
==Fabian socialists==
 
'''''FABIANISM''''' <ref>[http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/schools/fabian.htm ''The Fabian Socialists'' <small>Page at The History of the Economic Thought Website</small>]</ref> is the doctrine of the [http://www.lse.ac.uk/resources/LSEHistory/fabian.htm''[[Fabian Society]]''] <ref>[http://www.lse.ac.uk/resources/LSEHistory/fabian.htm The Fabian Society.<small> Homepage at LSE</small>]</ref>, a small but influential group of British socialists. This society grew out of the Fellowship of the New Life, founded in 1883 which looked to ethical reform and utopian community making for the regeneration of society. A group which included Frank Podmore and Edward R. Pease broke away from the Fellowship to found the ''Fabian Society'' in 1883. George Bernard Shaw <ref name=SHAW1>[http://oll.libertyfund.org/Texts/Econlib/BernardShaw0036/FabianEssays/HTMLs/0066_Pt04_Transition.html#LF-BK066pt03 SHAW, G. Bernard. ''The Transition to Social Democracy'', in: ''Fabian Essays in Socialism'', ed. G. Bernard Shaw, American Edition Ed. by H.G. Wilshire, New York: The Humboldt Publishing Co., 1891]</ref> joined in 1884; Sidney Webb in 1885. ''"Fabians"'' were named after Fabius Cunctator, the famous Roman general which opposed Hannibal as they were ''"biding their time"'' until they would ''"strike hard"''.
 
The essence of Fabian doctrine lay in Sidney Webb's <ref name=WEBBS>[http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/webb.htm ''The Webbs'', page at HET website]</ref> theory of the continuity of development from capitalism to socialism. Webb argued that the economic position of the workers had improved in the nineteenth century, was still improving and might be expected to continue to improve. Fabians literature seems to ignore class distinctions and shows no belief at all in a class struggle as the instrument of change. <ref>[http://www.wcml.org.uk/group/fabianism.htm COLE, G.D.H. ''Fabianism'', in: the Encyclopaedia of the Social Sciences, ed. Edwin R. A. Seligman, 1932.]</ref>
 
The ''"Fabians"'' avoided the revolutionary tactics of more orthodox Marxians. The middle-class Fabians were more directly involved with politics and practical gains - through contacts not only in the ''"International Labor Party"'', trade unions and cooperative movements but also throughout the entire British political apparatus (Liberals and Tories included). 
 
Fabians were the British counterpart of the German Marxian revisionists and influenced by the English Historical school. The ''"Fabian Society"'', an upper-middle-class intellectual group, emerged in 1884 as a strand of latter-day utopian socialism. They became known to the public firstly through Sidney Webb's ''Facts for Socialists'' <ref>WEBB, Sidney. Facts for socialists from the political economists and statisticians, Vol. 5, Fabian Tract, London: Fabian Society, 1895.</ref> (1884) and then through the famous ''Fabian Essays in Socialism'' <ref name=FABIAN'>[http://www.econlib.org/LIBRARY/YPDBooks/Shaw/shwFS1.html#LF-BK066page3_ftnref1WEBB, WEBB, Sidney J. ''The Basis of Socialism: Historic; in Fabian Essays in Socialism. New York: The Humboldt Publishing Co.,1891.<small>First published 1889</small>]</ref>
 
Although ''Fabians'' plunged into the most complex economic problems of their time, they did so while having a target in mind: to find a foudantion for their revolutionary economic aims without destroying democratic political ideals. They were ecletics; they accepted what seemed to be reasonable and their writings bear the marks of all schools of economic theory. <ref>[http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0315-4890%28195108%2917%3A3%3C307%3ATEFAR%3E2.0.CO%3B2-D&size=LARGE FOX, Paul W. and GORDON, H. Scott. ''The Early Fabians-Economists and Reformers''.]<small>The Canadian Journal of Economics and Political Science/ Revue canadienne d'Economique et de Science politique, Vol. 17, No. 3 (Aug., 1951), pp. 307-319</small></ref>
 
Sidney J. Webb and his wife, Beatrice Potter Webb (married 1892), ''"the Webbs"'' <ref name=WEBBS>[http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/webb.htm ''The Webbs'', page at HET website]</ref> were at the core of the ''[[Fabian Society]]''. They wrote numerous studies of industrial Britain, alternative economic arrangements (esp. cooperatives) and pamphlets for political reform. Their system was based on the Ricardian theory of rent which they applied to capital as well as land (and labor as well - their opposition to high labor incomes was also an issue). Their conclusion was that it was ''"the state's responsibility to acquire this rent"''. They were known ''"to combine an ounce of theory with a ton of practice"''.
 
Practice, for the Fabians, was to influence public opinion in the direction of their ideal. This was to be accomplished not through mass organization but rather by the selective education of the ''powerful "few"''. The ''"London School of Economics"'' (L.S.E.) <ref name=LSE>[http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/schools/lse.htm The London School of Economics <small> at the History of the Economic Thought Website</small>]</ref> was founded in 1895 by the Webbs <ref name=WEBBS>[http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/webb.htm ''The Webbs'', page at HET website]</ref>.
 
The Fabians importance faded in the 1930s for several of reasons. Among them the Webbs' admiration of Soviet Russia; it displeased too many in their group. The ascendancy of the British Labour Party on the back of trade union activism had rendered the Fabians superfluous, they lost control of the L.S.E. when Cannan and Robbins turned it on a decidedly Jevonian track and finally their intellectual influence during the 1930s was overshadowed by that of Keynes. But a smaller group of enthusiastic ''fabians'' still keep the fabianism flag tremulating <ref> [http://www.fabian-society.org.uk/documents/ViewADocument.asp?ID=71&CatID=52  KATWALA, Sunder. ''In an ideal world: 120 years of Fabianism'', www.fabian-society.org.uk]</ref>.

This editable Main Article is under development and subject to a disclaimer.

Heterodox economics refers to a relatively small but growing movement among economists who are seeking to gain acceptance of their ideas into mainstream economic thinking and scholarly discourse. Thinkers within the movement seek to organize various economic traditions, including post-Keynesianism, old institutionalism, feminist, social, and Marxian and Austrian economics under its new umbrella, according to the movement's view of what such traditions hold in common. In doing so, the heterodox economics movement seeks to distinguish its conceptualizations from what it views as "mainstream economics", which the movement engages yet opposes on some fundamental concepts.
