The author discusses his utopia based on a universal army, similar in some ways to Bellamy\’s Industrial Army, as the best way to deal with the current economic situation. The utopia was originally given as a keynote address at the 2013 meeting of the Society of Utopian Studies in Charleston, SC, and the utopia in the address was much more detailed than in the published version.
