Sinopsis
Private land ownership shapes work and opportunity, and this book argues for a just response.
The Labour Question offers a concise look at how ownership of land affects wages, poverty, and social policy. It presents a case for reform rooted in the idea that land, not just labor, must be part of a fair economy. The text surveys the core ideas behind Henry George’s program, explaining why private land ownership is at the heart of economic inequality. It argues that improvements and inventions increase overall prosperity, but the benefits often flow to landowners rather than workers. It also challenges charitable solutions that ignore property rights, urging readers to consider justice as the foundation for real change.
- Understand how land ownership is linked to wages and living standards.
- Learn why some traditional remedies may fail to address the root causes of poverty.
- Explore arguments for a justice-based approach to land and resources.
- See how economic theory meets moral questions about rights and equality.

Excerpt from The Labour Question: Being an Abridgement of Henry George's Condition of Labour
In 1901 he became managing director of an engineering works in the south of Scotland, a post which he held up to the time of his death in 1923. He came to his work with no knowledge of business or business management; but he always kept clearly before him the idea that the works were to be carried on so as to be a benefit to all concerned and to that end he strove with all his might. He realised that sympathetic understanding and friendly co-operation between employers and employed were the first considerations it was in that spirit that he met all the difficulties that are inevitable in such undertakings.
Inspectors and visitors to the works frequently remark on the general atmosphere of good fellowship and keenness over work which is apparent during a walk through the shops, and they sometimes ask how such a state of things is brought about. Had they known the personality of Harry Davies, the spirit which animated him and his power of communicating that spirit to Others, they would have understood.
He truly loved his fellow men and his deep human sympathy and love of liberty and truth and justice inspired him with the belief that these could be reached if only people would faith fully follow the light of reason. He believed that a better understanding among men was possible, and longed for it passionately, and strove for it in all his activities.
His struggle at the works was not merely to make his own living in his own way, but to win conditions under which all concerned in the works might co-operate to the utmost of their ability in freedom and justice. What was achieved was achieved only because of his belief in a wider emancipation, which could only be reached by eliminating monopoly from industry according to the principles of Henry George.
Under existing economic conditions the conflict between capital and labour was a dog fight in which each side, ignoring the fact that both were hampered and oppressed and robbed by. Monopoly, turned on one another; and instead of freeing themselves from the common enemy of land monopoly, employers and employed attempted to arm themselves for their mutual conflict with similar weapons of restriction and tyranny.

Excerpt from The Labour Question: Being an Abridgement of Henry George's Condition of Labour
Then once the old faith was gone something else had to take its place and he set himself to study the ideas of Henry George. Gradually he became convinced of the rightness and truth of these ideas and he made them his own and they became a religion to him. Later on he made a pilgrimage to America to visit Henry George whom he regarded as an inspired prophet, and this religion entered into all his work and all his dealings with men.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This profound treatise deconstructs the complexities of economic inequality, tracing historical roots to society's treatment of land ownership. The author's analysis exposes the inherent flaws in systems where private ownership of land concentrates wealth while disenfranchising the masses. It challenges the ethicality of land privatization, arguing that the Earth's resources belong equally to all born upon it. The book delves into how this disparity impacts labor, wages, and societal well-being, revealing that as civilization advances, the divide between the privileged and the destitute grows wider. The author envisions an alternative path, advocating for the abolition of private land ownership and the distribution of its value among all members of society. This bold vision challenges conventional wisdom, offering a path to create a more just and egalitarian society where the fruits of human labor are shared equitably. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
