Abstract

John Stuart Mill is principally remembered as one of the pre-eminent political economists and social scientists of the nineteenth century. Less remembered is that much of his thought, at its core, was heavily utopian. While Mill penned many passages thoroughly in harmony with the orthodox classical tradition, a substantial part of his work in his Principles of Political Economy and elsewhere was lovingly dedicated to dreams and passions for the perfection of society through a total makeover of its institutions and values.
