The Irish Land Question. What It Involves, and How Alone It Can Be Settled. An Appeal to the Land Leagues

George, Henry

Verlag: D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1881

Beschreibung

The political economist Henry George (1839-1897) had a tremendous influence on the Progressive reformers. His belief was that a "single tax" could cure the inequities of unearned wealth leading to general poverty. Ireland, with its dispossessed peasantry, was an obvious laboratory and exemplar for his theories. This is a Very Good copy of the First Edition. Uncommon to scarce. Green marbled paper-covered boards with a leather spine. Clean text; 85 pages, with an eight-page advert in the rear for his most famous work, "Progress and Poverty." This is an ex-lib copy, but the treatments are relatively unobtrussive: a contemporary (1882) label on the front paste-down; a stamp on the Title Page; a pocket in the rear. Rubbed at the margins; small chips to the spine; hinges cracked but holding well. In an archival plastic protector. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 005582
