“Progress and Poverty” by Henry George

Have you heard of Land Value Tax? How about Universal Basic Income? Did you know that they first appeared in the same book?

Published in 1879, “Progress and Poverty” was an international best seller, praised by figures as diverse as David Lloyd George and Peter Kropotkin. Its ideas were overshadowed by the world wars, but they are ripe for rediscovery.
