This work surveys four early precursors to Henry George, focusing on their ideas about land, property, and community.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the ideas of four intellectuals who were forerunners to the land reform theories of Henry George. While examining the main focus of land ownership, these philosophers sought to critique inequitable class structure, the principles of private property, and the inherent rights of man in respect to the land. By examining the ideas of Gerrard Winstanley, Thomas Spence, Thomas Paine, and William Ogilvie, the author provides a historical context for modern land reform movements and discusses the thematic depth and significance of their insights. This book is a valuable resource for understanding the intellectual history of land reform and its relevance to the present day.
