Henry George's political economy has been hailed as one of the
great contributions of American social criticism. His writings
have, however, invited interpretation in contradictory fashion.
Commentaries have used him to uphold laissez-faire social Darwinism
allowing for the aggrandizement of money. Some on the left have
regarded his ideology as calling for a co-operative commonwealth
well beyond the intentions of the single-tax mechanism. And there
are those who see him as having, in effect, written a new
Declaration of Independence as powerful as that of 1776. Bringing
to light his previously unavailable British writings would clear up
some misunderstandings and also present the man and his ideas in a
fresher historical context.
