Exploring the paradox of industrial progress alongside increasing poverty, Henry George's influential work delves into the economic cycles that lead to societal suffering. He critiques the impacts of industrialization and proposes a revolutionary solution: a tax on land to shield the vulnerable from economic fluctuations. This groundbreaking treatise not only shaped economic thought in the late 19th century but also inspired social reform movements worldwide, making it a pivotal text in the discourse on poverty and economic justice.
