Albert Brisbane (August 22, 1809 – May 1, 1890)[1] was an American utopian socialist and is remembered as the chief popularizer of the theories of Charles Fourier in the United States.[2] Brisbane was the author of several books, notably Social Destiny of Man (1840), as well as the Fourierist periodical The Phalanx. He also founded the Fourierist Society in New York in 1839 and backed several other phalanx communes in the 1840s and 1850s. His son, Arthur Brisbane, became one of the best known American newspaper editors of the 20th century.
