Synopsis
Excerpt from Choses Et Gens d'Amérique
Looking backward était une fantaisie ingénieuse sur des sujets de philosophie économique et sociale; elle nous faisait assister aux impressions d'un jeune bostonien,julian West, qui, tombé dans un sommeil magnétique, au commencement de 1887, se réveillait en 2000 devant les transformations fondamentales survenues durant cette période d'un peu plus de cent ans. Il découvrait d'abord que l'apre combat pour l'existence, dont il avait été jadis le témoin souvent attristé, n'existait plus; que la nouvelle civilisation reposait désormais sur le principe unique de la coopération nationale; qu'il n'y avait plus de pauvres ni de riches. Personne ne travaillait pour le compte d'autrui; tous s'éverluaient de concert à grossir le fonds commun auquel ils avaient part égale. Et ce miracle s'était accompli trés aisément en remplaçant le capital privé par le capital public, en organisant le mécanisme de la production et de la distribution, de même que le gouvernement poli tique, comme une simple affaire d'intérêt général.
