This essay was written in 1891 after Wilde had become enamored of concepts expressive of a liberal socialism. In his view, the aim of socialism should be "to try to reconstruct society on such a basis that poverty will be impossible". Typically, Wilde stresses the vital role played by art and the imperative significance of the artist.

I loved the first chapter, and enjoyed the second chapter. Although at the same time I found myself disagreeing with much of the second chapter.

A really great perspective.
