Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Rent, Wages and Capital: A Book for the Times
But, as will be perceived, the principal object has been a discussion of some phases of the Land Question, special reference being had to Henry George's proposition to make land common property. Given the essence, there is, perhaps, little in Progress and Poverty that has not previously, been advanced in some form. But the author of that work is elaborate and plausible and has generally avoided the muscular recommendations that have made Socialism disreputable.
