Progress and Poverty: An Inquiry Into the Cause of Industrial Depressions and of Increase of Want with Increase of Wealth: The Remedy

Progress and Poverty: An Inquiry into the Cause of Industrial Depressions and of Increase of Want with Increase of Wealth: The Remedy (1879) by Henry George is a landmark work in economic and social theory. It is particularly famous for addressing the paradox of increasing wealth and technological progress alongside persistent poverty. Through this inquiry, George proposes a radical solution: the taxation of land value to reduce inequality and remedy societal ills.
