Neo-classical economics as a stratagem against Henry George
- by Mason
Gaffney
"The Corruption of Economics",
Shepheard-Walwyn (Publishers) Ltd., London, 1994, contains a
remarkable contribution from Mason Gaffney.
Professor Gaffney's engagingly-written Neo-classical
Economics as a Stratagem against Henry George provides
compelling evidence that landed interests recast the science
of classical economics into a mathematically-based art form. This
had become necessary because Henry George had exposed the
complicity of escalating land prices and counterproductive taxes in
creating recurrent periods of recession and economic depression. As
a result, national Treasuries have been unable to forecast
anything. Too conspiratorial?
