Print on Demand. This book outlines the ideas of economic writer Henry George and advocates for the abolition of all taxation except that placed upon land value. The author posits that levying land-based taxes is the most ethical and efficient form of taxation. This is because it would tax individuals in proportion to the value of the public services the site enables them to enjoy, and would result in increased economic activity, efficiency, and the elimination of many of the negative effects of other forms of taxation. The book discusses the benefits of land value taxation in depth, clearly presenting a complex economic concept in a way that is accessible, persuasive, and thought-provoking. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

The first general movement along the lines of Progress and Poverty began with the New York City election of 1886, when Henry George polled votes as an independent candidate for mayor, and was defeated by the Democratic candidate, Abram S. Hewitt, by a plurality of only the Republican, Theodore Roosevelt, polling but Following that election the United Labor Party was formed, which at the Syracuse Convention in August, 1887, by the exclusion of the Socialists, came to represent the central idea of Progress and Poverty as distinguished from the Socialistic propaganda which until then was identified with.it. Coincident with the organization of the United Labor Party the anti-poverty Society was formed; and the two bodies, one representing the political and the other the religious phase of the idea, worked together until President Cleveland's tariff message of 1887 appeared. In this message Mr. George saw the timid beginnings of that open struggle between protection and free trade to which he had for years looked forward as the political movement that must culminate in the abolition of all taxes save those upon land values, and he responded at once to the sentiments of the message. But many protectionists, who had followed him because they supposed he was a land nationalizer, now broke away from his leadership, and the United Labor Party and the anti-poverty Society were soon practically dissolved. Those who understood Mr. George's real position regarding the land question readily acquiesced in his views as to political policy, and a considerable movement resulted, which, however, for some time lacked an identifying name. This was 'the situation when Thomas G. Shearman, Esq., wrote for the Standard an article on taxation in which be illustrated and advocated the land value tax as a fiscal measure. The article had been submitted without a caption, and Mr. George, then the editor of the Standard, entitled it The Single Tax. This title was at once adopted by the George men, as they were often called, and has ever since served as the name of the movement it describes.
