Second edition, completely revised by the author.
French politician, François Cantagrel is a disciple of Charles Fourier for whom he founded the newspaper La Phalange.
He was an active propagandist of Fourierism thanks, among other things, to his Fou du Palais Royal, published in 1841 and which the Fourierists had to republish in 1845, which had a huge impact. This humorous work certainly steered more men towards Fourierism than Fourier's own works.
