''A Traveler from Altruria'' is a utopian novel published in 1892-1893 in installment form and in book form in 1894. The novel is a critique of capitalism and its consequences, based on Howells' views of the negative impacts of industrial expansion in the late nineteenth century. Set in the 1890s in a East coast summer resort, it is narrated by a fiction author who is hosting a visitor from the island of Altruria. The narrator realizes that the money-focused United States is doing more poorly than Altruria in every respect.
