""Progress and Poverty"" is a renowned book written by George Henry in 1904. The book is an inquiry into the causes of industrial depressions and the increase of poverty despite the increase in wealth. The author argues that the root cause of poverty is the unequal distribution of land ownership, which leads to the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few individuals. Henry proposes a remedy to this problem, which involves the implementation of a single tax on landowners, which would replace all other taxes. The book highlights the importance of land reform and the need to address the issue of poverty in society. It has been considered a classic in the field of economics and has influenced many scholars and policymakers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
