What is Henry George known for?
I am known for my work in political economy, particularly my book 'Progress and Poverty.' In it, I explored the paradox of how material progress often coincides with increasing poverty. My central argument is that this poverty arises from the private ownership of land, which allows landowners to extract unearned income from societal growth. I advocated for a single tax on land values as a solution to this fundamental injustice.
