Edward Bellamy (26 de marzo de 1850-22 de mayo de 1898) fue un autor estadounidense y socialista, famoso por su novela utópica, El año 2000 (1888).Herbert George Wells (21 de septiembre de 1866 -13 de agosto de 1946 ). Narrador y filosofo politico de nacionalidad inglesa. Escritor moderno, de gran capacidad creadora y originalidad tematica. Entre sus obras destaca La maquina del tiempo (1895).Hace un siglo que Herbert George Wells escribio Miseria de los zapatos, y Edward Bellamy escribio El Mercado. Curiosamente, dichas obras fueron publicadas, las dos juntas, en una coleccion que se titulo Se hace camino al andar. El libro ?folleto mas bien? se publico en un tamaño reducido en sus dimensiones; ademas solo ocupo cuarenta paginas. Sus pretensiones, confluyentes, solo eran explicar y mostrar lo que es el socialismo por medio de dos escritos alegoricos. De lo directo y escueto de ambos relatos cabe sacar una conclusion inmediata: el socialismo es sencillo, se explica facilmente y esta en todos los ambitos de la vida de las personas.

With a cast of characters including Marcus Karenin, the moral center of the narrative Firmin, a proto-Brexiteer and Egbert, the visionary
