Progress and Poverty
Author: Henry GeorgePublisher: Jazzybee Verlag
ISBN: 3849657973
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 581
Book Description
This is the book that made its author Henry George suddenly famous. From the year 1879 to the present the doctrines of 'Progress and Poverty' have been familiar to all who are interested in social problems. The book has been read by many to whom Political Economy is still 'the dismal science', and it has been circulated in cheap editions by the thousand among the classes to which it holds out such an alluring prospect. 'Progress and Poverty' has become a classic in labor literature. Its doctrines have been accepted not only by many who see in them a means of personal rescue from distress and want, but by many others who are convinced by the reasoning of the author. Clergymen , in the Catholic as well as in the Protestant church, have become Mr. George's disciples, and business and professional men have gladly sat at his feet.

"My Visit to Tolstoy": Five Discourses
Author: Joseph KrauskopfPublisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 55
Book Description
In this work, Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf talks about his experience in meeting the great Leo Tolstoy and being visibly impacted by his selfless motives. Krauskopf chances upon Tolstoy in a lucky encounter which was on a visit to Russia to present to the Czar a plan intending to alleviate, reduce, and eventually eradicate the horrible persecution of Jews. The experience leaves him affected beyond measure. It can be noticed in his own words, "From the moment I first gazed upon him he held me captive, and by a strange psychic power, he has held me enthralled since." Tolstoy's infallible fight to procure parity for the labor class and his tireless enthusiasm to rid them of their physical and mental anguish is the subject of most of this small book. The book also provides a quick peek into the thought processes that converted Tolstoy from a libertarian and world-famous author into an avowed reformer.
