ABSTRACT
The workers’ settlement is a form of organization that endeavors to blend the principles of cooperative and private settlement. It is an attempt to give expression both to cooperative social desires and to private enterprise in agriculture. The three basic concepts underlying the workers’ settlement, as formulated by the founding fathers, are:
A rural community based on farming. Fostering the family as the primary cell, in both production and consumption. A society that is as egalitarian as possible without impeding the individual’s freedom of action.
