Excerpt from Notes on "Progress and Poverty": A Reply to Henry George
The apparent decrease in the last decade was a real increase. On account of the inflation of values in 1870, the purchasing power of $37 in 1870 was less than that of in\1880.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book revitalizes conversations on subjects analyzed within it: economics, class structure, and the increasing disparity between the rich and poor. The author presents a unique perspective on one of the most pressing matters of our time: the rise of poverty in society and the decline of the middle class. The author deconstructs the perception that economic progress inherently benefits all members of society. Instead, the author argues this progress places an unfair and increasing burden on the working class, while increasing the wealth and inf luence of the landowning class.
