Progress to Poverty: Land and Rents
On the 140th anniversary of Henry George’s Progress and Poverty,
his land tax and radical reform of land use are worth a critical
re-examination. Geographers F.T.C. Manning and Richard Walker, along with Ted Gwartney
of the California chapter of Common Ground USA, untangle what George
proposed, what happened as a result of his ideas, and what the future
holds. In conjunction with the San Francisco Public Library exhibit Who Owns the Earth? Henry George’s Progress & Poverty 140 Years Later
