Synopsis

Progress and Poverty is a critical appraisal of the theories of the political economist Henry George, who argued that land should be held in common and that land rents should be used to fund public services. George's ideas gained a wide following in the late 19th century and had a significant impact on the development of the American progressive movement. This book, written by George Basil Dixwell, provides a lucid summary of George's key arguments and offers a counterpoint to his claims. It remains an instructive work for anyone interested in the history of economic thought.
