Progress and Poverty

An Inquiry into the Cause of Increase of Want with Increase of Wealth: The Remedy

1879 • 356 pages

Why does increasing prosperity result in increasing poverty? In this book Henry George shows that labour and capital work in tandem, but that landowners contribute nothing yet take much of the profit as rent. George proposed abolishing all taxes except for those on land. Required reading for anyone concerned with modern-day disparities in wealth.
