Synopsis
Excerpt from Why Government at All?: Workers' Socialist Party Local Bostan During the summer of 1890 I became impressed with the difficulties to be overcome in winning adherents to the single tax, in sufficient numbers to make it fulfill the high expectations which had been formed for it, not yet perceiving its inherent weakness, nor doubting its efficiency. Still, I looked forward to the coming General Conference of Single Tax men, to be held at New York in the fall of that year, with high anticipations, in the full belief that something would be done to push forward the work, and bring it more generally to public attention. The outcome of that Conference was disappointing to the last degree. It fulfilled none of the anticipations I had formed for it; and I publicly criticised its action before the Chicago Single Tax Club soon afterwards. From a criticism of the Conference it was very natural to pass to a criticism of the Single Tax itself; and the moment I began to look at it from the standpoint of a critic, instead of that of an advocate, the aspect changed. I could understand why its progress was slow, and why it must, in the future, move with a still slower step, when its first impetus had been expended. My thought was still directed to devising some scheme of agitation which would force the whole social question to the front, and bring relief to those who so urgently need relief.

Why Government at All?: Workers' Socialist Party Local Bostan (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an incisive critique of the economic and social issues plaguing the late 19th century. The author traces the root of these problems to a single source: the private monopoly of land. They argue that this monopoly has led to widespread poverty, inequality, and social unrest. The book also explores the inadequacies of contemporary solutions, such as single-tax reforms and state socialism. Instead, the author proposes a comprehensive solution that would abolish the private ownership of land and distribute its benefits equally among all members of society. Through a deep analysis of historical and economic trends, this book provides a thought-provoking examination of the social and economic challenges of its time, offering insights that remain relevant to this day. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330689950_0
