The Organization of Labor and Association

From Libertarian Labyrinth

This 1846 work, by Fourierist Mathieu Briancourt, was translated into English by Francis George Shaw in 1847. A condensed Précis de l'organisation du travail was also published in France. The work explains in a more familiar setting the principles laid out by Charles Fourier in "Appendix A" of his The Theory of Four Movements.^[1] Orestes Brownson included an extended review of the work in the January 1848 issue of Brownson's Quarterly Review.
