About This Item
An uncommon work of utopian, pre-Marxist socialism, written by the Welsh founder of the model industrial New Lanark community. In 1824 Owen arrived in New York already a celebrity in the communitarian movement. The following January he purchased a pre-existing town in Indiana and began to promote it as a utopian model community, New Harmony; this work helped spread his ideas quickly. Carter and Muir in Printing and the Mind of Man called this "the first practical statement of socialist doctrine" [PMM 271]. Williams Part I 6.
