What Progress and Poverty Did For Me.

In this article the author comments on the new edition of Henry George's book entitled "Progress and Poverty." The remarks that the two world wars, were the cause of land reform societies in European countries disbanding, perhaps, also, many connected with them died on the field of battle. There was a vigorous one in Germany before the First World War, but when the author inquired about it on his visit to Berlin in 1921, he could find no one who had been connected with it. Since the end of the second world war, there has been a revival of interest in the movement in European countries, but there no information about the extent to which the book is circulated and read. Before the First World War, in England there were societies for the taxation of land values, which were to a great extent, meetings of saints, with little or no desire on the part of the adherents to go out and find sinners and convert them. The author remarks that "Progress and Poverty" supplies the readers with a complete reply to Marxism and State Socialism of any brand.
