Progress and Poverty

Summary:

The book examines the paradoxical increase in wealth alongside persistent poverty, arguing that land speculation and monopolies lead to unequal wealth distribution. It proposes a single tax on land value as a solution to social and economic inequalities.

Key points:

1. Land as Wealth and Inequality: Henry George says land creates wealth. As it gets scarce, landowners profit without effort, causing inequality.
