1 gen 1879 anni - Henry George publishes Progress and Poverty

Descrizione:

-warned that Americans were too optimistic about the impact of railroads and manufacturing, which they hoped would — after an initial period of turmoil — bring prosperity to all
- believed the emerging industrial order brought permanent poverty.
George’s proposed solution, a federal “single tax” on landholdings, did not win widespread support, but his insightful diagnosis of the problem helped encourage radical movements for economic reform.
