Abstract
- "American Journal of Economics and Sociology," has now completed 40 years of service to the social science sector of the country's scientific community and to the American people whose work that community benefits. It is hard to believe that 40 years ago, in the midst of a war that was soon to engulf the world and at the close of a catastrophic depression that was ended only by production for war, this scholarly enterprise was launched. This Journal is a product of the Georgist movement; the 21 directors of the Robert Schalkenbach Foundation, who sponsor and finance it, the editor in-chief, the business manager, their close associates, a majority of the editorial council and many of the members of the editorial board are followers of Henry George, the 19th century American economist and social philosopher. As per the author, during the 40 years, they have always afforded their authors the widest freedom of expression. The builders of this enterprise had been influenced by the work of Henry George, they never exalted George above other ethical writers and democratic thinkers.
