Herzl wrote about a new utopian state built on liberal values, including full, equal rights for men and women from all races, religions, and ethnicities. He described a socialist economic system that included a dash of capitalism to ensure its self-reliance. He championed free education, separation of church and state, maternity pay, overtime pay, and making stewardship of the environment a priority. His slogan? “You are my brother.” Keep in mind, Emmanuel, this book was written in 1902, more than sixty years before American counterculture spread from the corner of Haight and Ashbury.
