This article examines the town of Pullman, Illinois, a model industrial community built by George Pullman in the 1880s. It analyzes the paternalistic nature of Pullman's vision, where he sought to control not only the workplace but also the lives of his workers through meticulously planned housing, amenities, and social institutions. The study explores the inherent tensions between this utopian ideal and the realities of industrial capitalism, culminating in the violent Pullman Strike of 1894. The authors argue that Pullman's experiment, while initially lauded as a solution to labor unrest, ultimately revealed the limitations of such paternalistic approaches and contributed to the growing labor movement in the United States.
