Excerpt from The Next Step Toward Real Democracy: One Hundred Reasons Why America Should Abolish, as Speedily as Possible, All Taxation Upon the Fruits of Industry, and Raise the Public Revenue by a Single Tax on Land Values Only
Finally, I can not refrain at this time from acknowledging my great indebtedness to Mr. Louis F. Post, now Assistant Secretary of Labor, Washington, D. C who, because of his kindly encouragement and personal guidance many years ago, did so much to lead me into the paths of economic truth.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the Single Tax, a revolutionary economic reform proposed by Henry George in 1879. The author explains how the Single Tax would abolish all taxation on the products of human industry and raise the public funds by a single tax on land values only. The author argues that this system is just, sound, simple, adequate to the needs of government, and the only tax reform that guarantees the right of private property and is in full accord with the moral law. The Single Tax would break the monopoly of agricultural land, coal, oil, mineral land, timber land, waterpower land, and urban land. It would destroy the injurious power of the trusts, eliminate involuntary unemployment, raise the true wages of labor, and solve the problems of poverty, crime, and illiteracy. The author concludes that the Single Tax is the key to a just and prosperous society.
