================= HES POSTING =================
In some of my old HETM lectures I found a margin note that the word
"socialism" was coined by the French journalist Pierre Leroux in 1798.
Unfortunately, I provided myself with no citation to such. Can anyone
assess the veracity of this claim?
I note that Brue (p. 180) indicates that the word "in the modern sense
was first used in the Owenite Co-operative Magazine in 1827 to designate
the followers of Owen's cooperative doctrines."
