Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The proposal for a "single tax" on land was put forward by Henry George in his book "Progress and Poverty" in 1879. The idea was to tax only land and not other forms of wealth, as George saw land as a resource that was commonly owned and its value created by the community rather than individual landowners. This proposal gained significant support and had an impact on political and economic thought in the United States and elsewhere.
