About this book

Every vote counts in Alfred Farthing Robbins's account of how political decisions reach into daily life. Published in 1888, this collection grew from articles written as letters to a friend for the Halfpenny Weekly. Robbins addresses people still forming their opinions about public affairs, explaining Liberal principles through questions about elections, Parliament, education, taxation and property. His opening argument connects the individual elector's responsibilities with decisions affecting income, liberty and national policy.

The discussion of land reform gives the book's practical approach a specific focus. Robbins considers whether increases in land value created by a growing community should benefit that community through taxation. He distinguishes taking part of that increase from taking all of it, testing a reform proposal against the claims made for it.
