Claude Henri de Saint-Simon (17 October 1760 – 19 May 1825) was a French utopian socialist and political theorist. He defined the French Revolution as a class war between the nobility, bourgeoisie, and propertyless classes. He also defined a distinction between idlers and workers, which included proletarians, bankers, manufacturers, and merchants. As capitalism was only beginning to develop, he predicted that the bourgeoisie would only hold limited power as public officials or social trustees. In 1815, at the time of Napoleon's defeat, he called for an alliance of France, Germany, and England to guarantee the prosperous development of Europe.[1]
