2 Evans, George Henry
(1805-1856) Эванс, Джордж ГенриОбщественный деятель, публицист. В 1820 вместе с отцом иммигрировал в США из Великобритании, был подмастерьем в типографии в г. Итаке, шт. Нью-Йорк. В конце 20-х годов XIX основал собственную газету "Защитник рабочего" [The Working Man's Advocate], а в 1829 вместе с Р. Д. Оуэном [ Owen, Robert Dale] и Ф. Райт [ Wright, Frances] участвовал в создании одной из рабочих партий [ Workingmen's Parties]. В своей газете, а позднее в книге "История происхождения и развития Рабочей партии" ["History of the Origin and Progress of the Working Men's Party"] (1840) предложил программу реформ. Предположил, что можно сохранить высокие зарплаты в производственной сфере, имея "предохранительный клапан" (см Safety-Valve Doctrine) в виде дешевых сельскохозяйственных угодий. Выступая за изменение земельной политики, создал Национальную реформистскую ассоциацию [National Reform Association], выступавшую за создание гомстедов [ homestead] на Западе [ West] под лозунгом "Проголосуй за свою ферму" [ Vote Yourself a Farm]. Земельная программа Эванса нашла отражение в Законе о гомстедах 1862 [ Homestead Act]. Также выступал против монополий, включая Банк США [ Bank of the United States], тюремного заключения за долги и, в отличие от многих реформаторов своей поры, за равноправие женщин.English-Russian dictionary of regional studies > Evans, George Henry
