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.
