Excerpt from Progress and Robbery: Two American Answers to Henry George, the Demi-Communist
We see, therefore, that a Mayor of New York, with Mr. George's views, might do much to carry them into effect. Probably in no position in the world, under our present laws, could more be done in this direction. It is indeed rare that an enthusiast of that type has a chance to attempt to realize such dreams, and Mr. George will be a good deal less sin cere than his book shows him to be, if he does not use this: wonderful opportunity to the utmost.
I submit, therefore, that all good citizens should oppose his candidacy.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a profound investigation into the nature of democracy and the principle of private property ownership, particularly in land. The author argues that private ownership of land is unjust and it is the cause of poverty and inequality. The author maintains that land is a common heritage and should not be subject to individual ownership and exploitation. By presenting historical examples and logical arguments, the author challenges traditional economic theories, particularly those based on the concept of free markets and individual liberty. The book's central message is that land, as a resource that is essential for human survival and prosperity, should be treated as a common property and its benefits should be shared equitably among all members of society.
