Progress and Poverty : An Inquiry into the Cause of Industrial Depressions, and the Increase of Want with Increase of Wealth - the Remedy

George, Henry

Verlag: Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner and Co, London, UK, 1905

viii, 406pp (complete in one volume). In paper wrappers. Wrappers now fragile, worn, chipped on edges and front wrap detached, heavily chipped on spine. Internally neat and clean. George's first book, Progress and Poverty attempts to answer the questions of why poverty accompanies economic and technological progress and why economies tend towards a cycle of boom and bust. On its publication in 1880, the book sparked the Progressive Era and a worldwide social reform movement around an ideology now known as 'Georgism'. Contemporary sources and historians claim that in the UK, a vast majority of both socialist and classical liberal activists could trace their ideological development to Henry George.
