The Dream of Utopian Socialists

Is the title of Chapter 5 in The Worldly Philosophers by Robert L. Heilbroner a Touchstone Book  published by Simon & Schuster.  I have a copy of the revised seventh edition with a 1999 copyright.

With people “feeling the Berne” recently, it seems appropriate to revisit this.  Young people may not have been here before.
