    What Hacker News says

      George himself is extremely readable. "Social Problems", or his enormously popular "Progress and Poverty" are good introductions.

      If that seems a bit too much, I recommend first essay in Robert de Fremery's "Rights vs. Privileges" as a short overview of George's concepts.[0]

      I've always found georgism to be an interesting political idea but idk if I'm actually in favor of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism

      Check out this book by Henry George himself https://www.amazon.com/Social-Problems-Henry-George-ebook/dp...
