A Biographical History of the Georgist Movement



“The grey heads and bald heads are in the majority. The problem that confronts those of us who want the torch held up in the future, is to fill up the ranks. In order to do that many things must be done, but we must not depend on the old or middle-aged. Somehow or other we must devise a way to reach the minds of the young people – when their minds are open, when they are ready for new truths.”

Mr. Rose, of Kansas City, Missouri (from a speech at the 1928 Henry George Foundation Congress, Chicago. Reprinted in: Land and Freedom, September-October 1928)

  • 1889 - Book, A Short Text-Book of Political Economy, published. The full text is available online by Google books. The following excerpts cover the author's treatment of land as a factor of production and rent as wealth:

    Rent is defined as "the share of the produce which can be secured (under free competition) by those who are allowed to exercise rights of proprietorship over natural objects and forces."

    "... it is evident that all wealth comes ultimately from the land."

    "The fundamental cause which enables landowners to obtain rent is the difference in fertility and utility that exists between the various portions of the earth's surface. ...It may be stated as a general truth, that whatever tends to bring fresh and inferior lands under cultivation, tends also to raise the rents of all land previously cultivated. Tus when a community advances in wealth and population there is a rise in rents, unless some counterbalancing force is operating."

    "The rent of land for building purposes in towns is subject to the same law as that of agricultural land; only that we should have to speak of the difference in convenience instead of the difference of produce."

    "... in reality all rent in the politico-economic sense is 'unearned'; for it is by its very definition a payment made for gifts of nature, and not for the produce of labour."
