About this book
The Writings of Henry George gathers the principal works of Henry George (1839-1897), the American political economist and reformer whose 1879 book Progress and Poverty was the most-read economic work of the late nineteenth century after Marx's Capital. George argued that the rising value of land under economic growth belonged morally to the community and should be captured by a single tax on land values in place of all other taxes. Progress and Poverty sold in the hundreds of thousands and gave rise to an international Georgist movement that influenced reformers from Tolstoy and Sun Yat-sen to early twentieth-century American progressives. The collected Writings include Progress and Poverty, Social Problems, Protection or Free Trade, and the shorter pamphlets and lectures. George ran twice for mayor of New York City, narrowly losing the famous 1886 contest in which he came ahead of Theodore Roosevelt.
