Without an equal right to land, political liberty becomes the liberty to compete for starvation wages
Drawn from what Henry George said
What Henry George actually said
- Henry George American political economist (1839 to 1897)
Equality of political rights will not compensate for the denial of the equal right to the bounty of nature. Political liberty, when the equal right to land is denied, becomes, as population increases and invention goes on, merely the liberty to compete for employment at starvation wages.
