O książce

In «Progress and Poverty,» Henry George offers a groundbreaking exploration of the intricate relationship between economic growth and social inequality. Written in a compelling prose style that expertly blends political economy with moral philosophy, George critiques conventional economic theories and argues that progress should benefit all members of society. The book comprises two volumes, where George delves into the causes of poverty amidst material advancement, proposing his influential single tax on land value as a solution. His work serves as a salient reflection of the Gilded Age in America, a period marked by industrialization and stark wealth disparities, making it deeply relevant both historically and contextually. As a brilliant economist and social reformer, Henry George was profoundly influenced by the stark contrast between rapid wealth accumulation and widespread poverty he observed in post-Civil War America. His upbringing in a working-class family and later experiences as a land surveyor informed his understanding of land ownership and its implications for economic justice. Through personal hardship and a committed belief in the betterment of society, George penned this seminal work, aiming to ignite reform and galvanize social consciousness around economic equity. «Progress and Poverty» is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of economics, social justice, and public policy. Its timeless arguments resonate today, providing crucial insights into contemporary discussions on wealth distribution and economic reform. Readers will not only gain an understanding of the historical context but will also be equipped with philosophical and practical tools to critically engage with ongoing issues of inequality.
