Abstract: Abstract. While not appreciated by many professional economists during his lifetime despite his appeal to the general public, Henry George (1839‐1897) was a self‐taught economist whose best work is still surviving. His work is still applauded by economists in their theoretical work especially in the area of site value taxation and rentseeking. However, perhaps the most enduring tribute to the genius of Georgism is in the current application of land value taxation and gradation in several countries around the world including the United States.
