Advertisements announced the experiment for the cooperative colony, bringing various people to attempt an 8 - hour work - day of which Owen was a proponent . The town banned money and other commodities for trade, using "labour tickets" denominated in the number of hours worked . </P> <P> Owen's son, Robert Dale Owen, would say of the failed socialism experiment that the people at New Harmony were "a heterogeneous collection of radicals, enthusiastic devotees to principle, honest latitudinarians, and lazy theorists, with a sprinkling of unprincipled sharpers thrown in".
