Modern Times was a Utopian community existing from 1851 to 1864 in what is now Brentwood, New York, United States. Founded by Josiah Warren and Stephen Pearl Andrews , the community based its structure on Warren’s ideas of individual sovereignty and equitable commerce.[1] Modern Times existed until 1864 when its citizens decided to change the name of the town to Brentwood.[2] Writers have cited different reasons for the community’s failure.[3]
