Modern Times (community)

Modern Times was a Utopian community existing from 1851 to 1864 in what is now Brentwood, New York, United States. Founded by Josiah Warren and Stephen Pearl Andrews, the community based its structure on Warren’s ideas of individual sovereignty and equitable commerce.^[1] Modern Times existed until 1864 when its citizens decided to change the name of the town to Brentwood.^[2] Writers have cited different reasons for the community’s failure.^[3]
