Book Synopsis Robert Owen’s Experiment at New Lanark by : Ophélie Siméon
Download or read book Robert Owen’s Experiment at New Lanark written by Ophélie Siméon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an account of how, in the years 1800-1825, enlightened entrepreneur and budding reformer Robert Owen used his cotton mill village of New Lanark, Scotland, as a test-bed for a set of political intuitions which would later form the bedrock of early socialism in Britain. Drawing from previously unpublished archival sources, this study shows that New Lanark was not merely on the receiving end of Owen’s innovative brand of industrial paternalism, but also acted as a major source of inspiration for many aspects of his social system, including his desire to remodel society along communitarian lines. This book therefore reaffirms the centrality of New Lanark as the cradle of socialism in Britain, and provides a contextualised, social history of Owen’s ideas, tracing direct continuities between his early years as a paternalistic businessman, and his later career as a radical political leader. In doing so, it eschews the myth of New Lanark as a unidimensional ‘model’ village and addresses the ambiguities of Owen’s journey from paternalism to socialism.

This title will be of great interest to scholars and students of labour history.

Book Synopsis Robert Owen and the Commencement of the Millennium by : Edward Royle
Download or read book Robert Owen and the Commencement of the Millennium written by Edward Royle and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 1998-07-15 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe was swept by revolution in the period from 1789 to 1848. Britain, alone of the major western powers, seemed exempt from this revolutionary fervour. The governing class attributed this exemption to divine providence and the soundness of the British Constitution. This view has been upheld by historians for over a century. This book provides students with an alternative view of the potential for revolution and the resources of conservatism in early industrial Britain which challenges many of the common assumptions. Incorporates quotations from primary sources to give the reader a critical sense of why revolution was taken seriously by people at the time. Shows how the revolutionaries were defeated by the government's propaganda against revolutionary sentiments and the strength of popular conservatism.

Download or read book Robert Owen written by Ian Donnachie and published by John Donald Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Owen was one of the most important and controversial figures of his generation. Born in 1771, he lived through the Age of Revolutions and was personally touched the ideas and dramatic changes that characterised that era. Profiting enormously through the first half of his lifetime from the rise of industry, he devoted much of his time thereafter to espousing social and economic philosophy which could serve as a corrective to what he saw as the;excesses' of progress. Much of this derived from his own experience in managing cotton mills and strongly emphasised the importance of environment, education and, ultimately, co-operation. He gained fame - even notoriety - as a social reformer, applying radical ideas in the mills at New Lanark, and subsequently at the experimental community of New Harmony, Indiana, USA. Long after his death in 1858 his ideas continued to inspire others. The hagiography generated by his disciples did neither his name nor reputation much good, since they transformed the 'Social Father' of their movement into the 'Father of Socialism' a sobriquet that ill fits him, yet it sticks to this day.Ian Donnachie's engaging yet judicious study is the first biography of Owen for fifty years. This book was originally published by Tuckwell Press in 2000.

Book Synopsis Through the Fires by : Robert Owen Carr
Download or read book Through the Fires written by Robert Owen Carr and published by Dust Jacket Media. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a triumphant story of comeback in life and business. Robert Carr experienced decades of struggle that took him to the brink of home foreclosure at age 50. He would later make a fortune in the card payments industry, only to lose almost everything in 2009, after one of the most devastating data breaches ever.Daring to go public about the cyber-attack, Carr saved his company from potential ruin and fought his way back to prosperity. A man who rose from a hardscrabble upbringing in the Illinois countryside, he kept a promise to devote his financial success largely to young people from modest backgrounds. The Give Something Back Foundation, which he created as an expression of gratitude for a $250 scholarship he received as a high school senior, is on pace to pay college costs for some 1,000 students.Not everyone will be happy with this book. In stark detail, Carr skewers the unethical business practices of many in the financial world that he believes prey on those who can least afford it. He challenges business schools to do more to promote the importance of fairness and honesty. He delivers a capitalist's critique of capitalism, as it is often practiced today, and challenges stockholders to hold companies to higher standards in the way they treat people.Unflinchingly revealing, Carr describes the experience of being scorned and ridiculed by an abusive father. And he pays tribute to a mother, a night-shift waitress, whose wisdom and sense of fairness helped shape the ethic and culture of his successful company.In an interview on the television show, "Mad Money," Mr. Carr was praised by host Jim Cramer for his honesty and commitment to employees after the disastrous breach. This is a CEO for the underdog. He offers inspiration that an idealist, despite being repeatedly knocked down along the way, can ultimately thrive.For the business person who is trying yet again to solve the riddle and for those who are consider giving up the fight, this is a story of kinship, humility and possibility.
