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)

19-- - Quote: "When, forty years ago, at the Congress at Baale, I made the draft for the organization of Jewish Palestine, I had in my mind the complete picture of such an economically as well as politically perfect democracy. I had already gone through the school of the great American genius, Henry George, who, in his famous book "Progress and Poverty" draws a picture of perfect democracy, materialized by breaking the monopoly of the land. There is not the slightest flaw in it, except for what he calls "the Remedy," his "Single Tax," wich certainly is not the panacea he believed it to be. And I had already uncovered an almost-flawless historical example of a perfect democracy in the magnificent economic history of medieval Germany during the four centuries when her population had free access to the immense stretches of the Slavic East. I published this in 1898, in my book: "Large Landed Property and the Social Question.
