A thought-provoking critique of the economic and social systems of the late nineteenth century, written by writer and social activist Henry George. George argues that the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few is the root cause of poverty and social unrest, and proposes radical reforms to create a more just and equitable society. The book remains a classic of political and social philosophy.
