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.
Politicians are urgently looking for believable, just,
and practical methods of taxation. This is exactly what
Henry George offers.
-- John D. Davies, Bishop of Shrewsbury (from the
foreword to From Wasteland to Promised Land) |
