George Henry

Henry George was an American writer and political economist, most notably the leading proponent of the land value tax, also referred to as the "single tax" on land. His work inspired the economic philosophy known as Georgism, which posits that individuals should own what they create, but that everything found in nature, especially the value of land, belongs equally to all humanity. His most famous treatise delves into inequality, the cyclical nature of industrialized economies, and the use of the land value tax as a remedy.
