“Henry George’s Many Children”

[ndrosen]

Jesse Walker has a brief article cum book review on Henry George’s Many Children. Various early twentieth century progressives and classical liberals (not the same thing) were influenced by George’s ideas, and made efforts to implement them, although not always successfully. Walker also observes that depending which way you tilt your head, George can seem like almost an anarchist or almost a social democrat. It’s an interesting sidelight on intellectual history.
