The Land Question – What It Involves, And How It Can Be Settled

The Land Question – What It Involves, And How It Can Be Settled – Henry George

First published in 1881, under the title of “The Irish Land Question,” but dealing, as it does with matters of universal and permanent importance, it still retained its value and popularity in 1893, when the title was changed. Meant as an attack on Herbert Spencer for a position taken up by him ten years ago it was rather late in its appearance.

Progress and Poverty

Progress and Poverty – Henry George

From the year 1879 to the present the doctrines of ‘Progress and Poverty’ have been familiar to all who are interested in social problems.
