DESCRIPTION: This day-long conference (sponsored by the Robert 
Schalkenbach Foundation) will be held on November 1, 1997 to commemorate 
the 100th anniversary of the death of Henry George.  One of the most 
influential social reformers and political economists of the late 
nineteenth century, George gained renown for his book _Progress and 
Poverty_ (1879) and its call for a "single tax" on land values.  In 1886 
and again in 1897 he ran as a third party candidate for mayor of New York 
City.  Though dead now 100 years, George's critique of modern industrial 
society and unique reform proposals continue to attract adherents and 
influence public policy makers.
