Excerpt from Henry George and His Gospel
Henry George was still in the force and vigour of political manhood; but from this time forward we see that per petual strain has already sapped his strength. The Night, In ever-nearing circle,' was already weaving her shade around his head. This was 1890. He had seven years more to live, and he crowded them with work. Death was much in his thoughts, but not in the character of a threatening spectre. Many calm utterances that show the spirit with which he awaited the summons are recorded by his friends. But they are all summed up in one sen tence of a letter to his wife Let us love the closer while life lasts.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a critique of political economy in the late 19th century. The author's personal experiences with extreme poverty and wealth inequality amid bountiful natural resources led him to question the established economic orthodoxy of his time. He argues that the increasing gap between the rich and poor is an inherent feature of the existing economic system and not the result of individual failings. Through incisive analysis of the distribution of land and resources, the author challenges prevailing theories of poverty and inequality. The book's fundamental insights into the nature of economic systems and their impact on society continue to resonate with economists and social thinkers to this day.
