Progress and Poverty, an Inquiry Into the Cause (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781019599099)

In this classic work, Henry George presents his theory that poverty is caused not by overpopulation or moral failings, but rather by the unequal distribution of wealth and land. He argues for a single tax on land that would fund public services and reduce poverty. Originally published in 1879, this book remains a groundbreaking work in the field of economics and social reform.
