Whatever Happened to Henry George?

[peristaltor]

I very recently finished a pretty darned good book, Henry George's Progress and Poverty from 1879. In it, he asks some serious questions of the class of scholars then known as "political economists," specifically why more people starve where civilization is most developed, and not less.

I dispair of ever changing things.

Ah, don't get so down! I change things all the time!

Usually for the worse, and usually just by showing up without bathing or dressing, but hey. We all have to start somewhere!
