Other assessments of Henry George and his ideasLook at this seven-part compilation of evaluations of George and his ideas, at the School of Cooperative Individualism. Or this extensive collection elegantly presented by our Australian friends at Earthsharing.Or see a couple of our favorites below. The economic premises of Henry George cannot be successfully challenged; they are based on common observation and knowledge. . .Henry George was a great economist— the first to look for causes of poverty and the first to find the major cause— but Henry George was much more than an economist. He was a philosopher, a complete humanitarian, an incorruptible personality, an idealist who believed in man’s personal and social capacity for infinite improvement and he was a prophet of the same class as the prophets of old in the Holy Scriptures. — Preston Bradley,
“Henry George, Biblical Morality and Economic
Ethics” in
American Journal of Economics and Sociology, July, 1980.
