Synopsis

This book, published in 1896, delves into the intricate relationship between land ownership and social inequality. Using a unique approach of presenting complex economic and social issues in simple, accessible language, the author challenges traditional views on land ownership, drawing parallels between the ownership of land and other forms of property. The book explores the historical evolution of land ownership, from ancient slavery to the rise of wage labor, arguing that the control of land has consistently been the driving force behind societal divisions. Through illustrative scenarios and engaging dialogues, the author presents a compelling case for the abolition of private land ownership and proposes a system of land taxation as a means of achieving social equality and economic justice. The book's insights into the economic and social consequences of land ownership remain relevant today, offering a potent critique of the enduring inequalities that plague modern society.
