Description

Progress and Poverty by Henry George, Volume Two - Unabridged: Why Poverty Accompanies Economic and Technological Progress

This is volume two—what Henry George called "the Solution to the Problem".

(The previous volume is his description and analysis of "The Problem".)

This landmark treatise by the great economist Henry George was first published in 1879. George's work became the seminal analysis of the political economy which inspired most, if not all, the prominent thinkers of the Progressive Movement and many others of great influence: Upton Sinclair, John Dewey, George Bernard Shaw, Friedrich Hayek, H. G. Wells, Clarence Darrow, and Leo Tolstoy, to name but a few. His analyses and proposals are referred to as "Georgism".

This is the first commercially available audiobook version of this landmark work.

Albert Einstein wrote: "Men like Henry George are rare, unfortunately. One cannot imagine a more beautiful combination of intellectual keenness, artistic form, and fervent love of justice. Every line is written as if for our generation."

Soon after its publication, over three million copies of Progress and Poverty were bought, exceeding all other books written in the English language except the Bible during the 1890s. By 1936, it had been translated into thirteen languages and at least six million copies had been sold.

George saw how technological and social advances (including education and public services) increased the value of land and, thus, the amount of wealth that can be demanded by the owners of the land. In other words: the better the public services, the higher the rent. Speculators increasing the price of land faster than wealth can be produced has the result of lowering the amount of wealth left over for labor to claim in wages, which finally leads to the collapse of enterprises at the margin; a ripple effect becomes a serious business depression entailing widespread unemployment, foreclosures, etc.

The narrator of this audiobook is Audiofile Magazine Earphones Award (R) winner Peter Lerman. Mr. Lerman has narrated over 100 titles currently offered for sale by major audiobook retailers. Among these are books by Upton Sinclair (six of them!), Theodore Roosevelt, Eugene V. Debs, and a biography of Progressive Era presidential nominee Al Smith.

Peter Lerman is a member of SAG-AFTRA and the Professional Audiobook Narrators Association.
