About the book

"Equality" by Edward Bellamy is a utopian novel published in 1897 as a sequel to "Looking Backward: 2000–1887." Julian West continues exploring the year 2000, discovering a radically transformed society where credit cards replace money, women work freely, and vegetarianism is universal. Through extended lectures and tours of this idealized future, Bellamy expands his socialist vision, explaining how humanity evolved from 19th-century capitalism to an egalitarian world of shared prosperity, technological marvels, and universal language.
