The Irish Land Question

by Henry George

It explores the complex political and economic issues surrounding land ownership in Ireland during the late 19th century. The book was originally published in 1870 and remains a significant work on the subject. As an American economist and social reformer, Henry George was an outspoken advocate for land reform and the elimination of poverty. In The Irish Land Question, he examines the historical and political factors that led to the contentious land ownership situation in Ireland, as well as the economic impact of land monopolization and absentee landlords. The book also provides a detailed analysis of various proposed solutions to the Irish land question, including the idea of land nationalization and the implementation of a single tax on land value. Henry George's ideas on land reform had a significant impact on the politics and economic thought of his time, and The Irish Land Question remains a relevant and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the history of land ownership and its impact on society.
