Description

Henry George (1839–97) was a wellknown American economist. In fact, he is still pretty well-known, as his theory of taxation continues to have a wide influence, including among minimal-government libertarians. George argues that the only legitimate tax is a single tax on land. Such a tax distributes the value of land to all those in society who contribute to give land its value. The book includes an original foreword by Fred Foldvary, an anarcho-capitalist who teaches economics at San Jose State University.
