A French social economist, a very original and interesting figure; born in Besancon, April 7, 1772; died in Paris, Oct. 10, 1837. At first in trade, then in the army, the seeing a cargo of rice thrown into the sea to raise its price led him to attempt a reform abolishing the competitive system, by means of associated production and life in "phalansteries". "The Theory of the Four Movements" (1808), "The New Industrial and Social World" (1829), and "False Industry" (1835), set forth his scheme.
