Bellamy's vision of a harmonious future world inspired the formation of numerous "Nationalist Clubs" dedicated to the propagation of state ownership of the main pillars of the economy, achieved through nationalization. After working as a journalist and writing several novels, Bellamy published Looking Backward in 1888.
