Robert Owen

Robert Owen was a wealthy and idealistic Scottish textile manufacturer who was seeking human betterment and founded a communal society in 1825 at New Harmony, Indiana. He was one of the founders of the Utopian Socialism. He created model community, in which the drive towards progress and prosperity through new technology of the Industrial Revolution was tempered by a caring and humane regime. He had a community education center  for his workers, he outlined his visionary plans for an astonishingly progressive and enlightened system of education which he believed was the key to a happier society, and universal harmony.

"What ideas individuals may attach to the term "Millennium" I know not; but I know that society may be formed so as to exist without crime, without poverty, with health greatly improved, with little, if any misery, and with intelligence and happiness increased a hundredfold; and no obstacle whatsoever intervenes at this moment except ignorance to prevent such a state of society from becoming universal.”
