Henry George and Europe

Abstract: Abstract. Adolf Damaschke, a Berlin schoolteacher, played a‘fateful’ role in developing a large land reform constituency in Wilhelmian Germany. By chance he heard a lecture by Michael Flürscheim, Henry George's follower. And by accident he was won to the movement. He built the Union of German Land Reformers into an active organization of 100,000 dedicated members from all classes. For tactical reasons what Damaschke pushed was his version of the‘Single Tax Limited,’ though he never lost sight of George's philosophy of freedom. There was a “German Fatherland” emphasis in his advocacy. Yet he despaired of building a mass constituency for that philosophy.
