Count Henri de Saint-Simon was the first individual to coin the term "socialism".[15] Saint-Simon was fascinated by the enormous potential of science and technology, which led him to advocate a socialist society that would eliminate the disorderly aspects of capitalism and which would be based upon equal opportunities.[16] Saint-Simon advocated a society in which each person was ranked according to his or her capacities and rewarded according to his or her work.[15] This was accompanied by a desire to implement a rationally organized economy based on planning and geared towards large-scale scientific and material progress, which embodied a desire for a semi-planned economy.[15]
