It had little in common with prior utopian socialist ideas . Louis Blanc was more clearly observant of the large-scale and deep social and economic changes wrought by the industrial revolution and ferocious in his conclusions.Blanc almost single-handedly converted the republican leaders and the rebellious Parisian masses to the socialist cause" see Gonçalo Fonseca; "Louis Blanc" at History of Economic Thought; on-line resource.<br /> <br /> The essay originally appeared in Blanc's own Revue du Progres in 1840 and was expanded and reprinted regularly over the following decade; the current edition the ninth was the first to appear after the Revolutions of 1848. This version contains further revisions and additions including most importantly the oft-borrowed phrase "Produra selon ses facultés et consommera selon ses besoins" generally translated into English as "From each according to their abilities; to each according to their needs" - an expression popularized by Marx but widely attributed to Blanc in the current edition of this work see "Notes From the Editors" Monthly Review v.66 no.3 July-Aug 2014.
