This well-worn copy of Henry George’s seminal work, “Progress and Poverty,” bears the marks of a book that has been studied and cherished by many readers over the years. Published in 1879, this groundbreaking treatise on political economy challenged the conventional wisdom of the time and proposed a radical solution to the paradox of increasing poverty amidst advancing wealth and progress. George’s ideas, which centered on the concept of a single tax on land values, sparked a global movement and influenced generations of economists, social reformers, and political thinkers.
While the binding and cover show signs of age and use, the clean pages and secure binding attest to the enduring relevance and impact of George’s ideas. This copy invites collectors and readers alike to engage with a work that has shaped debates on economic justice, land rights, and the distribution of wealth for over a century. George’s eloquent and impassioned prose, combined with his incisive analysis of the root causes of economic inequality, make this a must-read for anyone interested in the history of economic thought and the ongoing quest for a more equitable society.
