George, Henry

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.04 sec.

George, Henry (1839-1897)

US economist. His Progress and Poverty 1879 suggested a ‘single tax’ on land, to replace all other taxes on earnings and savings. He hoped such a land tax would abolish poverty, by ending speculation on land values. George's ideas have never been implemented thoroughly, although they have influenced taxation policy in many countries.
