From the sex-free paradise of the Shakers to the worker's paradise of Marx, utopian ideas seem to have two things in common¿they all are wonderfully plausible at the start and they all end up as disasters. In Visions of Utopia, three leading cultural critics¿Edward Rothstein, Martin Marty, and Herbert Muschamp¿look at the history of utopian thinking, exploring why they fail and why they are still worth pursuing.
