Publisher's Synopsis
Observations On The Effect Of The Manufacturing System: With Hints For The Improvement Of Those Parts Of It Which Are Most Injurious To Health And Morals is a book written by Robert Owen in 1817. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the impact of the manufacturing system on the health and morals of the workers. Owen, who was a social reformer and a pioneer of the cooperative movement, was deeply concerned about the deplorable conditions in which the workers were forced to work and live.In the book, Owen presents a scathing critique of the manufacturing system, which he argues is responsible for the physical and moral degradation of the workers. He highlights the long working hours, low wages, and poor working conditions that prevail in the factories, which he believes are the root cause of the poor health and moral decay of the workers.Owen also provides suggestions for improving the manufacturing system and making it more conducive to the health and well-being of the workers. He advocates for shorter working hours, better wages, and improved working conditions. Additionally, he suggests that the workers should be provided with education and training to enable them to lead better lives.Overall, Observations On The Effect Of The Manufacturing System is an important work of social criticism that sheds light on the harsh realities of the industrial revolution and the need for social reform.
