Henry George wrote Social Problems
because average citizens wanted to understand
his views on major issues of the day. Much of it originally appeared
as a series of magazine articles.
Though George was writing in 1883, most of the problems he addresses
are as debated today as they were in
his time. These include taxation, the individual and society,
human rights, immigration, the effects of automation on workers, greed,
the proper scope of government, public debts, farm problems and urban
stress. These are still today's issues, and George's explanations
remain superb.
