Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Taxation of Land Values and the Single Tax The present volume does not profess to be a contribution to economic science. It is simply an exposition of the recognised theory of taxation and the application of it to two concrete proposals for legislation. It is written primarily for my fellow-citizens, to aid them in judging of a measure which their municipal representatives have pushed to the front. If I sometimes elaborate the obvious and discuss at length arguments which are generally dismissed as not worth a reply, it is because I have made it ray business to ascertain what are the difficulties of the people on this subject, and have had three sources of ascertaining them - my students, newspaper correspondence, and personal discussion. It is a standard reproach to the economist that he "makes difficulties" and puts on the drag rather than applies the spur.
