Our Land And Land Policy: Speeches, Lectures, And Miscellaneous Writings (1902)

By Henry George

Book Overview

""Our Land And Land Policy: Speeches, Lectures, And Miscellaneous Writings"" is a collection of essays and speeches written by the American political economist and social theorist, George Henry. First published in 1902, the book presents Henry's views on land reform and the role of government in managing land resources. The book is divided into three parts. The first part contains Henry's speeches on land policy, which were delivered in various public forums. In these speeches, he advocates for the abolition of private ownership of land and proposes a system of land taxation that would distribute land more fairly among the population. The second part of the book includes Henry's lectures on political economy, in which he discusses the economic principles underlying his land policy proposals. He argues that the current system of land ownership and taxation favors the wealthy and perpetuates poverty among the working class. The third part of the book consists of miscellaneous writings on a variety of topics related to land policy, including essays on the history of land ownership, the impact of land monopolies on society, and the importance of land reform in promoting social justice. Overall, ""Our Land And Land Policy"" is a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the issues surrounding land ownership and taxation. Henry's ideas continue to influence debates on land reform and economic justice today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
