Progress and Poverty by Henry George
The important social issues raised in this great classic of economic literature remain unresolved to this day - indeed the gulf between rich and poor continues to widen. The non-violent solution proposed has been all but forgotten, although it had widespread support around the world and was endorsed by Churchill and four British Prime Ministers during the first three decades of the 20th century.
"People do not argue with the teaching of George, they simply do not know itAnd it is impossible to do otherwise with his teaching, for he who becomes acquainted with it cannot but agree. Leo Tolstoy; Men like Henry George are rare, unfortunately. One cannot imagine a more beautiful combination of intellectual keenness, artistic form, and fervent love of justice. Albert Einstein; If I were to re-write this book [Brave New World], I would offer a third alternative - the possibility of sanity - Economics would be decentralist and Henry Georgian. Aldous Huxley; The least bad tax is the property tax on the unimproved value of land, the Henry George argument of many, many years ago. Milton Friedman; The reactions of four generations of economists to Progress and Poverty... is one of persistent misunderstanding, misrepresentation and downright evasion of the issues by leading members of the economics profession.
