Progress And Poverty

Progress and Poverty is a book written by George Henry in 1904 that explores the causes of industrial depressions and the increase of poverty despite the growth of wealth in society. Henry argues that the root cause of poverty is the unequal distribution of land, which leads to the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few and the impoverishment of the masses. He proposes a remedy for this problem, which involves implementing a single tax on landowners to fund public works and services, thereby reducing the burden on the working class. The book is a classic work of political economy and has had a significant impact on the development of economic thought and social reform movements.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
