In 1515, Thomas More published the treatise UTOPIA, which depicts an ideal society. There, all people are equal, there is no private or even personal property, not only production, but also everyday life is socialized. Labor is the responsibility of all citizens; assignment to work is made depending on the needs of society and the abilities of citizens. The working day lasts six hours. The most difficult and unpleasant work is performed by criminals who have the status of slaves. Consumer goods are distributed among citizens according to need; there is no money in Utopia. There is material abundance in society.
