Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive history of Henry George and the single tax movement. In 1912, Sun Yat-sen announced the birth of the Chinese Republic and promised that it would be devoted to the economic welfare of all its people. In shaping his plans for wealth redistribution, he looked to an American now largely forgotten in the United States: Henry George. In Land and Liberty, Christopher William England excavates the lost history of one of America's most influential radicals and explains why so many activists were once inspired by his proposal to tax landed wealth. Drawing on the private papers of a network of devoted believers, Land and Liberty represents the first comprehensive account of this important movement to nationalize land and expropriate rent. Beginning with concerns about rising rents in the 1870s and ending with the establishment of New Deal policies that extended public control over land, natural resources, and housing, "Georgism" served as a catalyst for reforms intended to make the nation more democratic. Many of these concerns remain relevant today, including the exploitation of natural resources, rising urban rent, and wealth inequality. At a time when class divisions sparked fears that capitalism and democracy were incompatible, hopes of building a social welfare state using the rents of idle landlords revitalized the middle class's conviction that democracy and liberty could be reconciled. Against steep odds, George made land nationalization vital to the politics of a nation dominated by small farmers and helped push liberalism leftward through his calls for collective rights to land and natural resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians have come to realize that Henry George exerted an important influence on the development of American Democratic thought. Numerous reformers of the Progressive Era acknowledged that their thinking had been vitally affected by an early reading of Progress and Poverty. His ethical analysis has attracted much favorable attention. In this book Steven B. Cord reviews the treatment accorded Henry George by American economists and historians from 1879 to the present and conclusion that, despite his widely recognized importance as a seminal figure in both history and economics, Henry George's ideas have not been well understood by many writers in those fields.
