Henry George was a prominent American political economist and journalist whose writings in the 19th century inspired reform movements during the Progressive Era. He is credited with developing the economic philosophy of Georgism, which promotes individual ownership of produced value and advocates for the equal sharing of economic land value within society. George’s work, including “Progress and Poverty,” addressed issues such as inequality, poverty, and economic development, proposing solutions like land value taxation and anti-monopoly measures. His ideas have had a lasting impact on political leaders and organizations even after his passing.
