Visions of Utopia (New York Public Library Lectures… by Edward Rothstein

A look at the history of utopian thinking from the perspective of three cultural critics --- Edward Rothstein, Herbert Muschamp, and Martin E. Marty. This is an interesting and lucid dissection of the results of noble thinking that often leads to disastrous consequences.
