This is the first fully annotated edition of Social Problems (1883) and The Condition of Labor (1891), two important works by one of Americas most popular social economists. Social Problems grew out of a series of articles Henry George (1839-1897) published in Frank Leslies Illustrated Newspaper titled, Problems of Our Times. In his passionate, journalistic style, George described in graphic detail the horrific conditions facing large sections of the American people and how, by returning to first principles, society could remedy these conditions for current and future generations. The Condition of Labor takes the form of an open letter to Pope Leo XIII in response to the pontiffs famous encyclical, Rerum Novarum. Echoing the religious themes dominant throughout all of his works, George argued that poverty is not part of Gods natural order and therefore, could be eradicated through political action. Both Social Problems and The Condition of Labor demonstrate Georges deep commitment to the reconciliation of ethics and economics in such a way that makes the world richer ethically and better off economically.
