1 answer

To determine which policy would most likely be supported by a quotation from Robert Owen's "A New View of Society," it would be helpful to know the specific quotation you're referring to. However, I can provide a general overview of Owen's ideas, which emphasized social reform, cooperative communities, improved labor conditions, and education.

Robert Owen was a proponent of utopian socialism and believed in creating a better society through collective ownership, education, and the establishment of communities where individuals could live and work harmoniously. He advocated for policies that included:

  1. Cooperative Societies: Establishing cooperative communities where workers owned the means of production and shared the benefits.
  2. Education Reform: Providing education for all, especially for children, to foster a more enlightened and productive society.
  3. Labor Rights: Improving working conditions and advocating for fair wages and reasonable working hours.

If you provide the specific quotation, I can help you identify the exact policy that aligns with Owen's ideas reflected in that text.
