Henry George (1839-1897) rose to fame as a social reformer and
economist amid the industrial and intellectual turbulence of the
late nineteenth century. His best-selling Progress and Poverty
(1879) captures the ravages of privileged monopolies and the woes
of industrialization in a language of eloquent indignation. His
reform agenda resonates as powerfully today as it did in the Gilded
Age, and his impassioned prose and compelling thought inspired such
diverse figures as Leo Tolstoy, John Dewey, Sun Yat-Sen, Winston
Churchill, and Albert Einstein. This six-volume edition of the
works of Henry George assembles all his major works for the first
time with new introductions, critical annotations, extensive
bibliographical material, and comprehensive indexing to provide a
wealth of resources for scholars and reformers. Volume 1 of The
Annotated Works of Henry George includes an introduction to the
six-volume series that focuses on the social context for George's
political economy, as well as the public and private struggles that
George faced. Tension between the dream of economic justice and
different techniques to realize it proved a continuing challenge
for the Georgist movement after its heady early years. Volume 1
presents three major works by George and new essays to provide
context. George wrote Our Land and Land Policy (1871) while still a
journalist in California. Fred Foldvary shows that George, even as
a neophyte economist, wrote with uncanny insight and analytical
skill. In The Irish Land Question (1881), George dove into the
maelstrom of Irish land policy. Jerome Heavey provides the
essential clarification of the history and politics of Irish land
law and explains why George's remedy was not adopted. Property in
Land (1885) incorporates the debate between George and the eighth
Duke of Argyll. Brian Hodgkinson provides the historical and
philosophical setting for this exchange between the Scottish
aristocratic landowner and the American "Prophet of San Francisco."
