Excerpt from The American Magazine of Civics, Vol. 6: January to June, 1895
With this statement I take direct issue. Instead of wealth, in itself, being the only thing possessing value, it is the one thing which has not and never had any value. In the above para graph, Mr. Kitson touched the true source of value and allowed it to slip by him unnoticed. Monopoly is now and always has been the true and only basis of value, and the extinction of any form of monopoly necessarily implies the extinction of the cor relative values. Wealth is merely the denominator, the term by which monopoly values are expressed.
In order that man may live, he must have those things which are necessary to life, and since all men desire to live and desire that life shall be made as agreeable as possible, they desire those things that are necessary to life and to an agreeable existence. The things so desired may be either natural forces and materials, as air, heat, light, shade, and shelter, or they may be the materials of the earth's substance, changed in form and location, by the use of human energy assisted by those natural forces, animate and inanimate, which man is able to bend to his serv ice. The things thus produced are called by economists wealth.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the idea of establishing a single tax on land to ensure an equitable system for land ownership. Argued from an economic perspective, the author presents a critical analysis of Henry George's single tax position. The author contends that land value is the only value which is not derived from human activity and thus should be subject to a single tax. The author also discusses the ethical and sociological implications of such a tax and how it would promote social justice and equality. This well -argued and accessible book provides valuable insights into the history and potential benefits of a single tax system.
