Charles Fourier (1722-1837) was a French philosopher and utopian social theorist who advocated the “phalanx” a communal association of producers as a way of reconstructing society. The phalange was to be a cooperative agricultural community that shifted roles to ensure the individual’s social welfare. He saw this as a way to distribute wealth more equitably than under capitalism. The phalanx’s members were rewarded on the group’s total productivity.
