Riguardo questo articolo

Print on Demand. This book, published in 1896, delves into the intricate relationship between land ownership and social inequality. Using a unique approach of presenting complex economic and social issues in simple, accessible language, the author challenges traditional views on land ownership, drawing parallels between the ownership of land and other forms of property. The book explores the historical evolution of land ownership, from ancient slavery to the rise of wage labor, arguing that the control of land has consistently been the driving force behind societal divisions. Through illustrative scenarios and engaging dialogues, the author presents a compelling case for the abolition of private land ownership and proposes a system of land taxation as a means of achieving social equality and economic justice. The book's insights into the economic and social consequences of land ownership remain relevant today, offering a potent critique of the enduring inequalities that plague modern society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Riassunto

Excerpt from The Up-to-Date Primer: A First Book of Lessons for Little Political Economists; In Words of One Syllable With Pictures

What is it? It is a Fish. It has a Name. The Name is Pike. It is a big Fish and can Bite. See its Teeth. Can a Fish live on the Land? No, it will die on Land. But see, the small Fish is on the Land. Will the small Fish die? Yes, it will. Why does it go on Land, then? The Pike drove it to the Land. The small Fish is a Perch. Is not the Pike 3. Bad Fish to do so ill a deed? It is, but you must not say so. DO you not see that the Pike owns the Stream, and so has a right to get Rent for the use of the Stream from the Perch? But the Perch can not pay, and so has to get out. The Pike means no ill, but Biz is Biz. But should it be the Law that a Pike may own a Stream? Ah, now you have hit it. No, it should not. Such a law is bad for Perch.
