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)

I saw Progress and Poverty in a window as I passed a bookstore. I bought it, and have only had time to read it once since. But I can truly say that if I had discovered this bountiful store of knowledge many years ago, and could have been inspired by the logic, reasoning, frank honesty, universal justice and divine faith of Henry George. My book woul dhave been a much greater book. Progress and Poverty ranks next to the Holy Bible."
