George 1839-1897 an unknown printer in 1870's San Francisco witnessed the city's evolution from rough encampment to wealthy metropolis while at the same time observing the emergence of pauperism. He endeavored to discover why wealth grew simultaneously with poverty and after years of study produced this book determining that a single tax on land value was the solution. Once early publishing difficulties were overcome sales of the book skyrocketed into the millions internationally exceeding all titles other than the bible in the 1890s. As a result the Single Tax Movement was founded and George soon became the third most famous American behind only Thomas Edison and Mark Twain. George inscribed this copy to Wm. B. Scott with whom he worked at The Standard a weekly single-tax newspaper George founded and published from 1887 to 1890.

RARE FIRST EDITION OF ONE OF THE GREAT MODERN CLASSICS OF ECONOMICS IT WAS IN THESE COURSES THAT PARETO BEGAN HIS DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT OF 'PARETO EFFICIENCY' WHICH HELPED CREATE THE FIELD OF MICROECONOMICS AND CHANGED ECONOMICS FROM A PHILOSOPHICAL STUDY TO A PRACTICAL ONE.<br> In 1893 Pareto succeeded Léon Walras to the chair of Political Economy at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland where he remained for the rest of his life. He was he first to discover that income follows a power-law probability distribution of wealth in a society fitting the trend that a large portion of wealth is held by a small fraction of the population the 'Pareto distribution'.<br> Pareto's legacy in the study of economist is profound.
