エドゥアルト・ベルンシュタイン
Robert Owen read the proposals in 1817, and in a letter to "The Times" acknowledged their resemblance to the community he himself had created at New Lanark. He had 1,000 copies reprinted that year. Eduard Bernstein saw Bellers as a precursor of socialism, if not communism, highlighting his argument for valuing goods according to labour, not money.
