Sinopsis

""Progress and Its Enemies"" is a book written by John Fremont Wilber that challenges the popular economic theory of the Single Tax. The book argues that the Single Tax, which proposes a tax on land as the sole source of government revenue, is flawed and impractical. Wilber also identifies other enemies of progress, such as protectionism and socialism, and explains how they hinder economic growth and development. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of economic theories and policies, and offers a clear and concise argument for a free-market approach to progress. It is a must-read for anyone interested in economics, politics, and social progress.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

Becoming convinced that the single-tax was a fallacy, I sent a challenge to the president of theM assachusetts Single Tax League, I nc., to meet him or any of his fraternity in joint debate on the single-tax theory. Although the president of that society, who is a college professor, had been giving addresses in at least a dozen different places in Massachusetts he never answered the challenge, but I did receive a letter from the secretary of theS ingle Tax League inquiring as to my beliefs and whether I stood for the status quo. It is not my idea of a joint debate to tell my opponent the line of attack or defense in advance, but I wrote and told him that, while I was an independent thinker, I stood for the status quoin preference to the single tax. I received from the secretary the following letter: MASSACHUSETTS SINGLE TAX LEAGUE, INC., )BOSTON, MASS, A pril 30,1917. jM r. J. F. Wilber Dear Sir Thanks for your letter. I think we had better not attempt a debate.
