Henry George
Henry George (1839-1897) was an American political economist and journalist best known for his advocacy of the single tax on land value, which he argued would help alleviate poverty and reduce inequality. His influential work, 'Progress and Poverty,' published in 1879, explored the relationship between economic growth and social justice, asserting that the unearned increment of land value should be taxed to benefit society as a whole. George's ideas inspired later economic reform movements and continue to resonate in discussions about land use and taxation.
