Description
Henry George's 1879 treatise on the cyclical nature of modern industrialized economies, and possible remedies for the resulting imbalances and inequities, was immensely influential. It gave rise to the idea that the economic value of land would accrue equally to all, enticing landowners to use their land productively.
