More about the book
Examining the paradox of simultaneous economic growth and rising poverty in the late 1800s, Henry George presents a compelling argument against the belief that the poor are solely responsible for their plight. Drawing from his experiences in San Francisco, he contends that the root of poverty lies in the monopolization and speculation of land, which allows landowners to benefit disproportionately from economic advancements. Balancing moral and economic perspectives, the book challenges prevailing assumptions and advocates for a reevaluation of wealth distribution.
