Utopia
Een gemeenschap van werkenden waarin de kloof tussen arm en rijk niet bestaat, waar iedereen beschikt over wat hij nodig heeft, waar alle steden hetzelfde zijn, waar geld geen rol speelt en economische misdrijven niet voorkomen: ziedaar Utopia volgens Thomas More. Het lijkt in niets op de toestand in het Westen van het begin van de zestiende eeuw, waar armoede heerste, de rechtspleging corrupt was, het grootgrondbezit tot schrijvende onrechtvaardigheden leidde en de politiek aan alle kanten faalde. Sir/Saint Thomas More (1478-1535) was advocaat. Hij maakte onder Hendrik VIII carrière in de politiek; in 1529 werd hij kanselier. Veroordeeld wegens hoogverraad (hij verzette zich tegen ’s konings echtscheiding en diens verheffing tot hoofd van de kerk) stierf hij op het schavot. Vierhonderd jaar later werd More heilig verklaard.
