What reading level is Progress And Its Enemies, Showing the Fallacy of the Single Tax Theory, And Some Other Enemies of Progress book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Is it not true of nearly all values ? Of what value would a hill of gold be to a Robinson Crusoe? Far more valuable would be one of iron, for with the iron (provided he had the Danger of Untaxed Voter 39 requisite knowledge and skill) he could not only make tools to cultivate the soil, but also weap- ons to protect himself from wild beasts. So gold derives its value from the community ; so do the precious stones; so does nearly every article known to civilized man. And this added value is a sel...ling value and should therefore be taxed.
"The dangerous classes politically are the very rich and the very poor. It is not the taxes that he is conscious of paying that gives a man a stake in the country, an interest in its govern- ment ; it is the consciousness of feeling that he is an integral part of the community; that its prosperity is his prosperity, and its disgrace his shame. Let but the citizen feel this . . .
and the community may rely on him even to limb or life." — [Henry George.
Politically, the rich are not, as a class, danger- ous, unless their property rights are threatened.
