Harrison presents a meticulous account of the Owenite movement, tracing its origins in the model factory towns of Britain to its ambitious communal experiments in America, most notably the New Harmony settlement in Indiana. The work argues that Owenism was far more than a passing ideological curiosity — it was a coherent and passionate movement that directly influenced the development of trade unionism, co-operativism, and secular education. Written with scholarly authority and narrative clarity, it remains an indispensable study for anyone seeking to understand the roots of modern progressive thought and the enduring human appetite for a more just and equitable society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888008179931,"sku":"2026200009437-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3972660c-1d6d-4ca7-9341-01029f2848c1.png?v=1781752419","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009437-secondhand-quest-for-the-new-moral-world-robert-owen-the-owenites-in-britain-and-america","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
