'''Henry George''' (September 2, 1839 - October 29, 1897)<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=AWxNAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA578 The Illustrated American, Volume 22]</ref> was an [[American]] [[economist]] who wrote one of the most widely read [[economic]] treatises in history: ''[[Progress and Poverty]]'' (1879). The thesis of the book is the proposal that all government revenue should come from a [[Land value tax|single tax on land]]. He argued that land, unlike other [[factors of production]], is supplied by nature and that [[rent]] is unearned surplus. The landless deserve their share of this surplus as a birthright, according to George.
