Utopia (book by Thomas More)

"Utopia," written by Thomas More in 1516, presents an imaginary island society where social, political, and economic structures are designed for the common good. In this ideal community, private property does not exist, everyone shares resources, and decision-making is democratic. The book critiques the inequalities of More’s contemporary Europe, exploring themes of justice, governance, and human nature. By contrasting Utopia with real-world issues, More invites readers to reflect on societal flaws and consider the potential for alternative social systems, ultimately challenging the notion of what an ideal society might look like.
