Summary

"The first complete edition of this NZ social satire, with an introduction and annotations that detail the colourful life of the author and contextualise the novel amid the flood of utopian writing occasioned by Edward Bellamy's Looking backward (1888). Morganeering satirizes monopoly capitalism and suggests reforms to the economy, education, religion and the position of women."--Back cover.
