(No salutation)

I will read the copy of PROGRESS AND POVERTY REVIEWED with real interest — and if it contains real meat will obtain additional copies to pass on to my Georgist friends.

 

It is an interesting commentary that the book PROGRESS AND POVERTY is seldom either criticized or denounced — one wonders why?

 

It is also even more interesting that the Review referred to has been done by Spencer Heath. He has strayed across my path (or I should say I across his) several times during my life and each time I have been impressed by his egotistical and superficial thinking. He also happens to be an outstanding example of the non producers of mankind!

 

I await the Review with an (open?) mind.
