jan 2, 1516 - Utopia
Description:
In his 1516 book Utopia, Thomas More describes an ideal society in which greed and corruption have been eliminated completely. He suggests that in such a society money would have little to no place and that silver and gold would again become worth as much as their usefulness dictates. His book was the first which showed the ideals of communism and was highly esteemed by scholars and writers of his time. Since those Ideals have been attempted several times each attempt would ultimately fail and become more corrupt than that of other governments.
