Reviews / Votes
"Henry George is an economist who has given rise to a lot of written opinions. Therefore, one would think that is hardly impossible to say something new about his work. However, this book contradicts this idea, because it presents attractive and original viewpoints with regard to very different Georgist issues.... This book proves that - almost one hundred and thirty years later - George's work continues arousing a great interest." (History of Economic Ideas, January 2009)More details
