Robert Owen

Ai është i njohur për përpjekjet e tij për të përmirësuar kushtet e punës për punëtorët në fabrikat e tij duke promovuar komunitetet eksperimentale socialiste.

Në fillim të viteve 1800, ai u bë i njohur si një investitor dhe menaxher i madh i prodhimeve të tekstilit në New Lanark, Skocia. Ai fillimisht ishte trajnuar si draper në Stamford, Lincolnshire, dhe pastaj kishte punuar në Londër, para se të zhvendosej në moshën 18 vjeçare në Manchester për t'u bërë një prodhues tekstili. Në vitin 1824, Owen udhëtoi në Amerikë ku kishte investuar në një organizim eksperimental socialist në New Harmoni, Indiana, që paraqet një model paraprak të Owenit të një shoqërie utopike. Në vitin 1828, Owen u kthye në Londër, ku vazhdoi aktivitetin e tij si aktivist i klasës punëtore, duke udhëhequr zhvillimin e kooperativave dhe lëvizjes së bashkimit të sindikatave, duke mbështetur kalimin e ligjit të punës së fëmijëve si dhe shkollat e lira koedukative për fëmijë.
