Irish Land Question

Book cover
By: (1839-1897)

Henry George's "Irish Land Question" is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the complex issue of land ownership in Ireland. George skillfully navigates through the historical, economic, and political factors that have shaped Ireland's land system, offering a thorough examination of the injustices and inequalities that have resulted from it.

One of the key strengths of George's work is his ability to break down complicated concepts into easily understandable language, making his arguments accessible to a wide audience. His passionate advocacy for land reform shines through in every chapter, as he argues for the establishment of a more equitable and just system of land ownership in Ireland.

While some readers may find George's writing style to be a bit dense at times, the depth of his research and the clarity of his arguments more than make up for it. Overall, "Irish Land Question" is a must-read for anyone interested in Irish history, economics, or social justice issues. George's work is as relevant today as it was when it was first published, and his insights continue to inform discussions around land reform in Ireland and beyond.

Book Description:
"What I want to impress upon those who may read this paper is this: The Irish land question is not a mere local question; it is a universal question. It involves the great problem of the distribution of wealth, which is everywhere forcing itself upon attention. It can not be settled by measures which in their nature can have but a local application. It can only be settled by measures which in their nature will apply everywhere as readily as in Ireland."
