Le machinisme comme réponse à la question sociale : Robert Owen et l’expérience de New Lanark (Chapter 2)

Robert Owen's industrial experiment at New Lanark (1825–1840) demonstrated that mechanization could serve as a solution to social inequality, challenging prevailing economic and societal norms. As both a critic of industrial progress and a practicing industrialist, Owen provided a unique perspective on the interplay between technological advancement and social reform during Britain's early industrialization period. His approach combined theoretical reflection with practical implementation, offering insights into the potential for industry to address social issues while driving economic development.
