A Perplexed Philosopher

In this thought-provoking work, political economist Henry George subjects the philosophies of renowned thinker Herbert Spencer to rigorous scrutiny, focusing particularly on Spencer's views on land ownership and the role of the state in regulating economic activity. With incisive arguments and careful analysis, George sheds light on the flaws in Spencer's theories, and proposes his own alternative vision of a just and equitable society.
