Ending poverty requires replacing individual ownership of land with common ownership
Drawn from what Henry George said
What Henry George actually said
- Henry George American political economist (1839 to 1897)
To extirpate poverty, to make wages what justice commands they should be, the full earnings of the laborer, we must therefore substitute for the individual ownership of land a common ownership. Nothing else will go to the cause of the evil—in nothing else is there the slightest hope.
