Excerpt from George Rapp and His Associates: The Harmony Society
Every age has its problems; the present one fairly teems with questions of the day.
There is the question of the high cost of living with its concomitant the cost of high living.
There is the transportation problem and the ques tion of the great number of middlemen who, although they add not one iota to the value of anything, have nevertheless become a great factor in the distribution of all commodities.
There is the money question, banking and currency problems; always and forever the tariff question and all sorts of questions pertaining to capital and labor.
There is the woman question - whether she is to have the equal right with man to express her individ ual sentiments by ballot.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the lives of George Rapp and his followers. Born in Germany in the 18th century, Rapp was a weaver and vine-dresser who, upon reading the Bible, determined to create a communal society based on Christian principles. Leaving their homeland, 800 German immigrants founded Harmony, Pennsylvania. Harmonists believed in the power of hard work and the pursuit of perfection, leading to their success as skilled artisans and manufacturers. The society's efforts to create a self-sufficient economy and live harmoniously within their own utopia are remarkable, and their beliefs and practices continue to inspire modern-day communal living.
