Publisher's Synopsis

""A Development Of The Principles And Plans On Which To Establish Self-Supporting Home Colonies"" is a book written by Robert Owen in 1841. The book discusses the principles and plans needed to establish self-supporting home colonies. Owen was a British social reformer who believed that poverty and misery could be eliminated through the establishment of self-sufficient communities. In this book, he outlines his vision for such communities and provides a detailed plan for their establishment. He discusses how these communities would be organized, how they would be funded, and how they would be governed. He also emphasizes the importance of education and social cooperation in these communities. The book is a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the most important social reformers of the 19th century and provides valuable insights into the history of social welfare and community development.As A Most Secure And Profitable Investment For Capital And An Effectual Means Permanently To Remove The Causes Of Ignorance, Poverty, And Crime; And Most Materially To Benefit All Classes Of Society; By Giving A Most Right Application To The Now Greatly Misdirected Powers Of The Human Faculties And Of Physical And Moral Science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
