Was Homo Ecomomicus a former socialist?

Marshall and Mill and the deinition of economic man.  John Neville Keynes' book on "The Scope and Method of Political Economy" - it name checks the economic man, and the model/assumptions debate beautifully clearly.I want to see how far I can make the point that this wealth maximiser had Comtian socialist leanings.

Cournot was also instrumental in defining the mathematical model which underlies economic man
