Inequality And Progress (1897)

Inequality And Progress is a book written by George Harris in 1897. It is a detailed analysis of the economic and social conditions prevalent in the United States during the late 19th century. The book examines the growing disparities between the rich and poor, and the impact of industrialization, urbanization, and immigration on American society.Harris argues that inequality is a natural consequence of progress and economic growth, but he also highlights the negative consequences of extreme inequality. He argues that a healthy society requires a balance between individual freedom and social responsibility, and that excessive inequality can undermine this balance.The book also discusses the role of government in addressing inequality and promoting social progress. Harris advocates for policies such as progressive taxation, labor protections, and public education as ways to reduce inequality and promote social mobility.Overall, Inequality And Progress is a thought-provoking analysis of the challenges facing American society during the late 19th century, and it remains relevant today as inequality continues to be a major issue in the United States and around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
