Why the Georgist Movement Has Not Succeeded:

Abstract

ABSTRACT. The intellectual/reform movement founded by Henry George has not succeeded, but it has survived. George both accepted and challenged prevailing 19th‐century expectations (within Western culture) of unlimited economic and social progress. The failure of later Georgists to adapt the substance and style of George's analysis in response to modern and post‐modern issues may have been one factor contributing to the decline of Georgism during the 20th century. The effective end of the 19th century, symbolized by the sinking of the Titanic and realized by World War I, left unresolved to this day the socioeconomic problems of monopoly, privilege, and the commodification/exploitation of both labor and land—problems now associated with globalization. A revitalized Georgism could and would need to address these 21st‐century realities.
