Note 1216 — Chapter II · : THE THEORY OF RENT AND ITS APPLICATIONS

Cf. the fragment entitled Méthode de Conciliation ou de Synthèse, in the Études d’Économie sociale. Henry George in his preface to Progress and Poverty writes thus: “What I have done in this book … is to unite the truth perceived by the school of Smith and Ricardo to the truth perceived by the school of Proudhon and Lassalle; to show that laissez-faire (in its full, true meaning) opens the way to a realisation of the noble dream of socialism.”
