A radical thinker and philanthropic employer, Robert Owen (1771–1858) made major contributions to nineteenth-century social movements. Owen organized cooperatives and trade unions, pioneered new approaches to the education of children, advocated birth control, and established utopian communities in both the United Kingdom and the United States. Robert Owen and His Legacy features the latest scholarship on the life, work, and legacy of the legendary reformer.
