Description

Description

First published in 1879, "Progress and Poverty" is a groundbreaking treatise on the relationship between industrialization and poverty. Henry George's work had a profound impact on economists, politicians, and social reformers worldwide. George sought to understand why technical progress was often accompanied by increases in poverty and human suffering. He proposed a radical solution: a tax on land to protect private property from economic fluctuations. This idea has been influential in shaping progressive social movements and has been adopted by several countries since its publication. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, allowing readers to enjoy George's thought-provoking ideas for generations to come.
