Albert Brisbane

Albert Brisbane

Albert Brisbane (1809-1890) was an American utopian socialist, the chief popularizer of the theories of Charles Fourier in the United States in several books, notably "Social Destiny of Man" (1840), and in his Fourierist journal The Phalanx.

He achieved a platform to espouse Fourier's communitarian theories with the help of "New York Tribune" editor Horace Greeley, who was impressed by Brisbane's ideas and allowed him to write a weekly article. In 1844, Brook Farm, already an establish Utopian community, convirted into a Fourierist community. Several more Fourierist communities were established in the 1840 and 1850's with Brisbane's help, though most died quickly.

Brisbane was as an early supporter of the Homestead Act.
