Why is there no socialism in the United States?' asked the influential German economic historian Werner Sombart in 1906 ([1906] 1976). Since Sombart posed the question, historians of every ideological stripe have attempted to furnish an answer. Some scholars have focussed on politics, seeking to explain why 'more radical third parties have consistently floundered. Others have turned to labour history, investigating the failure of unions to promote socialist ideology in America. A third, smaller contingent has studied the hundreds of nineteenth-century Utopian socialist experiments in the United States in an attempt to understand the dynamics of life and work in alternative economic orders. Why these communes eventually dis- appeared became a central theme in most works
