Henry George (1839 – 1897)

Thanks to @heysweet for writing this biography of Henry George —a famous Philadelphian, and the namesake of this dbt Core release.

“Men like Henry George are rare unfortunately. One cannot imagine a more beautiful combination of intellectual keenness, artistic form and fervent love of justice. Every line is written as if for our generation. The spreading of these works is a really deserving cause, for our generation especially has many and important things to learn from Henry George.”

— Albert Einstein

The boardgame of Monopoly has long been credited to Philadelphian Charles Darrow — a rags to riches story of a man down on his luck struck with a brilliant idea. In reality, Charles Darrow stole the idea while playing a boardgame **at a dinner party with friends. Poet, comedian, actress, and engineer Lizzie Magie designed the original, called The Landlord’s Game, which was intended to demonstrate the political theories of Henry George (Georgism). While the Capitalist ruleset was the more popular and ended up as the base of Monopoly itself, the game was designed with an alternate ruleset for how to play, which involved all players being rewarded during wealth creation. These two playstyles demonstrate the harm of natural monopolies and the societal benefit that comes to all from a land value tax. (Charles Darrow went on to become the first millionaire game designer, and though Magie had a patent, she made $500 from the game she designed).

Henry George was a prominent political economist and journalist, who advocated strongly for women’s suffrage, universal basic income, a land value tax, free or affordable public services in place of natural monopolies (utilities, mass transit, libraries), and campaign finance reform.

His first book Progress and Poverty (1879) popularized many of the ideas of Georgism (alternatively Geoism or the single tax movement), which argued that people should own the value they produce themselves, and that rent on land, natural resources, and the commons should belong equally to all members of society, to be paid out in the form of a citizen’s dividend. A leading figure of the Progressive Movement John Peter Altgeld wrote that George “made almost as great an impression on the economic thought of the age as Darwin did on the world of science.”

While George’s ideas were popular across the political spectrum among socialists, libertarians, and conservatives alike, George never won a political election. Henry ran for Mayor of New York City as the candidate for the United Labor Party in New York City’s mayoral election, losing to Theodore Roosevelt, came in third in the election for Secretary of State of New York, and in 1897 during his second run for mayor of New York City, succumbed to a fatal stroke during the campaign.

Henry George was born in Philadelphia on September 2, 1839 and died of a stroke four days before his second run for the mayor of New York City on October 29, 1897.
