Chapter 3 - Progress and Poverty -
From Poverty by James Platt

This chapter looks at the theory that poverty is a result of progress - a view to be expected in Victorian Britain, with rapid change being experienced due to the ongoing Industrial Revolution. The equivalent today would be the change in working practices and wage levels brought on by the Computer Age. The theory is attributed to Henry George in his book "Progress and Poverty." This book is still in print today and is available on Amazon.
