Book Overview

""Property In Land: A Passage-At-Arms Between The Duke Of Argyll And Henry George"" is a book written by George Douglas Campbell, the Duke of Argyll, in 1884. The book is a debate between the Duke and Henry George, an American political economist, on the topic of land ownership and property rights. The two authors present their arguments and counter-arguments in a series of letters, each responding to the other's points. The Duke argues that private property in land is essential for social order and economic prosperity, while George argues that land should be owned collectively by society and that private ownership leads to inequality and poverty. The book is a fascinating insight into the social and economic debates of the late 19th century and remains relevant today in discussions of property rights and land use.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
