This is one of most important books written by Henry George. Here George developed his theory of value and critically examined the writings of economists, past and contemporaneous in the book The Science of Political economy.


Henry George's attempt to put the political economy on a scientific basis based on thought experiments like Einstein's physics are fully elaborated in the book.


This is an ambitious book by Henry George with a lot to commend it. The Science of Political economy is littered with numerous enlightening stories from George's own life, including one where he describes what has more recently been called "paying it forward".


Albert Einstein designated George a "beautiful combination of intellectual keenness, artistic forum, and fervent love of justice". As one of the great American economists, Henry George’s economic thoughts are still relevant to American economic life, especially in building and evolving American economic foundation to knowledge based industries.


This is a book for readers who are interested in an articulate and interesting discussion of public issues which remain relevant to us today.

Henry George

Henry George (1839–97) went to sea on a merchant ship at age 15 and by the end of the 1850s was working in San Francisco as a typesetter. A career in journalism followed, and George gradually become a successful popular speaker on the issues of his day as well as an effective writer. He moved to New York around the time Progress and Poverty was published and ran for mayor, losing in an election that may have been marred by fraud. His second campaign for mayor ended with a fatal stroke. Thousands turned out for his funeral, which was described as the largest in New York's history (or at least the largest since the death of Abraham Lincoln); even George's bitterest opponents at Tammany Hall flew their flag at half-staff on that day.
