Description
This volume provides a comprehensive examination of Henry George, the influential 19th-century economist and social theorist, within the broader context of transatlantic Irish communities and intellectual movements. Kenneth C. Wenzer’s detailed historical analysis explores how George’s revolutionary ideas on land taxation and economic reform circulated among Irish diaspora communities in America and Europe.
The work investigates the complex relationships between George’s single-tax philosophy and Irish Land League activism, demonstrating how economic thought traversed the Atlantic through immigrant networks and transatlantic correspondence. By situating George within the Irish-American intellectual landscape, this research reveals previously underexamined connections between economic theory, Irish nationalism, and progressive reform movements of the period.
Part of the acclaimed Research in the History of Economic Thought and Methodology series, this book offers scholars and students valuable insights into how transnational communities shaped economic discourse during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
