Description
This volume is part of a series entitled Sociale Zeitfragen.(#28). The title translates as "land reform in the Bible." The author, Adolf Damaschke (1865-1935) was a social scientist and political economist, born in Berlin, Germany. He played a 'fateful' role in developing a large land reform constituency in Wilhelmian Germany. By chance he heard a lecture by Michael Flurscheim, Henry George's follower. And by accident he was won to the movement. He built the Union of German Land Reformers into an active organization of 100,000 dedicated members from all classes. For tactical reasons what Damaschke pushed was his version of the 'Single Tax Limited,' though he never lost sight of George's philosophy of freedom. There was a "German Fatherland" emphasis in his advocacy. As head of the Bund Deutscher Reformer from 1898, he fought for reform of land taxation. Damaschke is also the author of numerous other books on this subject. They include: Geschichte der nationalökonomie(Jena, 1919), Die Bodenreform, der Weg zur sozialen Versöhnung (Stuttgart, 1924), Friedrich List, ein prophet und märtyrer deutscher volkswirtschaft(Berlin, 1935), et al.
