Mason, I can only reply that you are relying on secondary sources who   
seem to have that cherry picking quality. Try reading what Wicksteed   
wrote in the 20th century instead of what some Georgist wrote about him   
or about what he wrote. If you can find something in Wicksteed that even   
hints that he believed that land has some special quality as a factor of   
production or that he agreed with George's notion of the single tax, I   
would be amazed.You might also read Lionel Robbins introduction to the   
1933 edition to Wicksteed's Common Sense, where he writes specifically   
about George's influence on Wicksteed.
