Henry George 
Progress and Poverty, Volumes I and II 
An Inquiry into the Cause of Industrial Depressions and of Increase of Want with Increase of Wealth

In ’Progress and Poverty, Volumes I and II’, Henry George delves into the pressing issues of economic inequality, advocating for a single tax on land as a solution. His writing style is scholarly and persuasive, drawing on economic theory and social commentary to present a comprehensive argument. Published in 1879, this book was groundbreaking in its time, sparking debates on wealth distribution and political economy. George’s work challenges conventional economic thinking and offers a fresh perspective on how to address poverty in society. His passionate prose and well-reasoned analysis make ’Progress and Poverty’ a timeless classic in the field of economics. Henry George’s background as a political economist and social reformer influenced his writing, driving him to explore alternative economic systems to achieve greater social justice. His dedication to understanding the root causes of poverty shines through in this seminal work, making it essential reading for anyone interested in economic and social reform. I highly recommend ’Progress and Poverty’ to readers seeking a thought-provoking analysis of wealth inequality and its implications for society.
