Bücher von Henry George

Progress and Poverty, first published in 1879, was American political economist Henry George¿s most popular book. It explores why the economy of the mid-to-late 1800s had seen a simultaneous economic growth and growth in poverty. The book¿s appeal was in its balance of moral and economic arguments, challenging the popular notion that the poor, through uncontrolled population growth, were responsible for their own woes. Inspired by his years living in San Francisco and his own experience with privation, George argues instead that poverty had grown due to the increasing speculation and monopolization of land, as landowners had captured the increases in growth, investment, and productivity through the rising cost of rent.To solve this, George proposes the complete taxation of the unimproved value of land, thus returning the value of land, created through location, to the community. This solution would incentivize individuals to use the land they own productively and remove the tendency to speculate upon land¿s increasing value. George¿s argument was profoundly liberal, as individuals retain the right to own land and enjoy the profits generated from production upon it.Progress and Poverty was hugely popular in the 1890s, being outsold only by the Bible. It inspired the Single Tax Movement, and influenced a wide range of intellectuals and policymakers in the early 1900s including Leo Tolstoy, Albert Einstein, and Winston Churchill.

The Law of Human Progress, written by George Henry in 1917, is a philosophical and sociological treatise that explores the nature of progress and development in human society. The book argues that progress is not a natural or inevitable outcome of human existence, but rather a product of social and economic forces that can be harnessed and directed towards positive ends. Henry contends that progress is driven by the accumulation of knowledge and the expansion of human capabilities, which in turn depend on the development of institutions and systems that facilitate cooperation and collective action. He also argues that progress is hindered by inequality, injustice, and the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few. Throughout the book, Henry draws on a wide range of historical, cultural, and economic examples to illustrate his arguments, and he offers a detailed analysis of the social and economic conditions that promote or hinder progress. He also discusses the role of education, technology, and political systems in shaping the course of human development. Overall, The Law of Human Progress is a thought-provoking and insightful work that offers a unique perspective on the nature of progress and the challenges facing modern society. It remains relevant today as a powerful critique of inequality and a call to action for those committed to building a more just and equitable world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
