and Poverty
Description:
This book is an example of the strong undercurrent of reformers that was about to stimulate the Progressive era. George suggests that something drastic should be done by the U.S. Government to eliminate the unequal distribution of wealth. George's strongest idea was a 100% windfall tax on the increase in property values.
