The Law of Human Progress, written by George Henry in 1917, is a philosophical and sociological treatise that explores the nature of progress and development in human society. The book argues that progress is not a natural or inevitable outcome of human existence, but rather a product of social and economic forces that can be harnessed and directed towards positive ends. Henry contends that progress is driven by the accumulation of knowledge and the expansion of human capabilities, which in turn depend on the development of institutions and systems that facilitate cooperation and collective action. He also argues that progress is hindered by inequality, injustice, and the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few. Throughout the book, Henry draws on a wide range of historical, cultural, and economic examples to illustrate his arguments, and he offers a detailed analysis of the social and economic conditions that promote or hinder progress. He also discusses the role of education, technology, and political systems in shaping the course of human development. Overall, The Law of Human Progress is a thought-provoking and insightful work that offers a unique perspective on the nature of progress and the challenges facing modern society. It remains relevant today as a powerful critique of inequality and a call to action for those committed to building a more just and equitable world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

""Our Land And Land Policy: Speeches, Lectures, And Miscellaneous Writings"" is a collection of essays and speeches written by the American political economist and social theorist, George Henry. First published in 1902, the book presents Henry's views on land reform and the role of government in managing land resources. The book is divided into three parts. The first part contains Henry's speeches on land policy, which were delivered in various public forums. In these speeches, he advocates for the abolition of private ownership of land and proposes a system of land taxation that would distribute land more fairly among the population. The second part of the book includes Henry's lectures on political economy, in which he discusses the economic principles underlying his land policy proposals. He argues that the current system of land ownership and taxation favors the wealthy and perpetuates poverty among the working class. The third part of the book consists of miscellaneous writings on a variety of topics related to land policy, including essays on the history of land ownership, the impact of land monopolies on society, and the importance of land reform in promoting social justice. Overall, ""Our Land And Land Policy"" is a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the issues surrounding land ownership and taxation.

Af alle videnskaber er nationaløkonomien den, som er af størst praktisk betydning for nutidens civiliserede mennesker. Den er videnskaben om formuens natur og om naturlovene for produktion og fordeling af formue. Den handler om det, som menneskers tanker og anstrengelser drejer sig om, nemlig anskaffelsen af livets nødvendigheder. Finanskrisen har med al ønskelig tydelighed vist, at ingen af de accepterede økonomiske teorier har en acceptabel sandhed; der findes ingen bred, enig og anerkendt autoritet, som man uproblematisk kan godkende. Hvad den ene fraktion godkender som accepteret sandhed modsiges af andre, lige så store fraktioner. Og endnu i 2014 er de lærde økonomer uenige om den rette vej ud af de problemer, som finanskrisen skabte. Mens den, der virkelig har til hensigt at studere nationaløkonomien, ikke har en autoritet at holde sig til, er der dog intet, der forhindrer den pågældende i - ved brug af sin egen fornuft i ærlig søgen efter sandheden - at nå frem til faste og sikre konklusioner.De fleste menneskers største bestræbelser drejer sig om at erhverve og besidde formue. Henry George beskæftiger sig i denne bog, udover hvad meningen med nationaløkonomien er, med formuens natur, med formuens produktion og med formuens fordeling. Et afsluttende kapitel om penge virker ufuldstændigt for en moderne læser.
