The Peer and the Prophet is a book that features two articles written by prominent figures in the late 19th century. The first article is written by the Duke of Argyll and is titled ""The Prophet of San Francisco."" In this article, the Duke discusses the rise of Henry George, an American political economist and social reformer who gained popularity for his ideas on land reform and the single tax. The Duke critiques George's ideas and argues that they are not practical or feasible.The second article is a response from Henry George himself, titled ""A Reply to the Duke of Argyll."" In this article, George defends his ideas and argues that they are based on sound economic principles. He also criticizes the Duke's arguments and accuses him of being out of touch with the realities of modern society.Overall, The Peer and the Prophet provides a fascinating insight into the intellectual debates of the late 19th century, as well as the clash of ideas between two prominent figures of the time.Entitled, The Reduction To Iniquity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
