STANDING FOR JUSTICE
A Biography of Andrew MacLaren MP |
|
Redistributing ever-growing levels of taxation has always been the
major weapon for alleviating poverty but what is the cause of poverty?
Andrew MacLaren MP, inspired by Henry George, saw clearly the underlying
reasons. His views, and the solution to this grave social problem,
which were endorsed by no less than five Prime Ministers, make fascinating
reading.

of evidence and its methods of assessment. The authors have all been
teachers, but it is their view that history which is instructive can
also be entertaining.
