Ghodsee extrapolates the lessons that can be learned from these experiments and how they could be applied to modern society in order to achieve a better, easier way of life. The text is rounded out with endnotes, a bibliography, and chapter- by-chapter reading recommendations, an invaluable addition for readers seeking more utopian philosophy and history.
Though Ghodsee’s proposals are decidedly utopian, readers who think deeper about them may agree that reshaping society is not such an unworkable thing after all.
