The Classic Collection of Henry George brings together some of the most influential writings of Henry George, whose ideas played a major role in shaping debates about wealth, land ownership, and economic justice in the late nineteenth century. This illustrated edition includes his landmark work Progress and Poverty, as well as important essays and lectures such as Social Problems, The Condition of Labour, and other significant writings. In Progress and Poverty, George explores the paradox that economic growth and technological progress often occur alongside persistent poverty and social inequality. His analysis of land ownership and economic systems led to the famous proposal of the "single tax" on land values, which he believed could create a more just and balanced society. In his later works, George continues to examine the social consequences of industrialization, addressing issues such as labor conditions, economic opportunity, and the responsibilities of society toward its citizens. Written in a clear and persuasive style, his works combine economic reasoning with moral and social philosophy. This collection offers readers a comprehensive introduction to George's powerful ideas and enduring influence on economic thought, social reform, and discussions about fairness in modern economic systems. Contents: -Progress and Poverty -Social Problems -Protection or Free Trade -The Condition of Labour -The Land Question: What It Involves, And How It Can Be Settled
