Would greatly appreciate it. Please help if you can! The question is: Taking into consideration the theories of thinkers like Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill, and Karl Marx and reformers like Robert Owen, imagine a scenario that would have allowed Britain to industrialize in a more humane fashion than happened.

In a phrase, it would have involved the creation of "Corporate Humanism."
This would have had several components:
1. Unionization of labour.
2. Labour sitting on Boards of Directors.
3. Genuine Profit Sharing.
4. Industry providing safe affordable housing and education for workers and their children.
5. The providing of decent wages and working conditions.
6. Decision-making based on consensus rather than confrontation.
Hope these help. Cheers.

If the British government had seen the national benefits of industrialization and been under the direction of someone enlightened. Or heavily influenced by the church it could have happened. I am thinking of the industrialization of Japan here when I think about doing it as a national policy.

In an ordered enlightened anarchy called Utopia dwelt laborers and would be princes and princesses, all happy and fulfilled, all equals in Utopia. Only the French pre-revolution philosophs or Plato and Aristotle could contemplate this adequately. Of course, Zeno is about to begin to start be be half way there if he can get his bycycle into high gear.

in that day and age we need to consider the governing factors that dictated and influenced the people who made the decisions on infrastructure.
