Henry George's Progress and Poverty sold more than 3 million copies
by the time of its 50th anniversary in 1929 - outselling all other
works on economics - yet today economics students can complete
their courses without ever having heard of the author's name. This
collection redresses this neglect, by presenting a range of
perspectives on Henry George's fertile ideas which, it is
increasingly argued, merit revisiting in terms of their capacity to
contribute towards solutions to current problems including runaway
land values, nationalization of land, monopoly control of public
assets and environmental degradation. The book also discusses
George's significant theoretical contributions, including the
'Henry George Theorem' - named after him by two Nobel prize winning
economists - and important insights bearing on the relation of
evolutionary theory to economics. The authors also discuss George's
powerful influence on the economic development of Australia and New
Zealand, and the affinity he felt for these countries is also
considered. Henry George's Legacy in Economic Thought will appeal
in particular to upper level students and scholars of the history
of economic thought and the public sector but also to economists
more widely.
