Seven features about practical attempts over the centuries to create the ideal society. 3: Co-operation by ARNOLD HINCHLIFFE
'rne story of Robert Owen (1771-1858), the social reformer, and the model villages of co-operation which he set up In New LanarkinScotlandand in New Harmony in the United States. with , The immediate cause of the present distress is the depreciation of human labour occasioned by machinery. Many are turned from work and face starvation. I propose therefore to establish Villages of Co-operation founded upon the principle of united labour. Here, men and women will work together in fellowship and finally prosper, for each will produce more than he or she or their family will consume. The fruit of their produce they will share In common.'
