""Progress and Poverty"" is a thought-provoking and influential book written by George, Henry in 1904. In this book, the author presents an inquiry into the causes of industrial depressions and the increase of poverty despite the growth of wealth. Henry argues that the root cause of poverty is the unequal distribution of wealth, and that the current economic system is inherently flawed. He suggests that the solution to this problem is to implement a single tax on land, which would help to eliminate poverty and promote economic growth. The book is a call to action for individuals and governments to address the issue of poverty and inequality, and to work towards a more just and equitable society. It is a classic work of economic and social theory that has had a lasting impact on the field of economics and on social and political movements around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
