Theodor HertzkaTheodor Hertzka, sometimes known as Hertzka Tivadar, was an economist and journalist of Jewish, Hungarian, and Austrian heritage. He studied at Vienna and Budapest universities before joining the editorial team of Vienna's Neue Freie Presse in 1872. e started the journal Wiener Allgemeine Zeitung in 1879 and served as its editor until 1886. He was friends with Johannes Brahms. Hertzka has been dubbed the "Austrian Bellamy" since his work Freiland, ein soziales Zukunftsbild shares a subject with Edward Bellamy's novel Looking Backward. Though Hertzka was not a Zionist, and his utopian vision was aimed toward humans in general, Theodor Herzl acknowledged Hertzka's impact on his own views in the first chapter of his book Der Judenstaat, which envisaged the establishment of a Jewish state.
