The Georgist economist Harry Gunnison Brown is underappreciated today but wasn’t particularly unknown in his own time. In Harry Gunnison Brown: An Orthodox Economist and His Contributions, Browns biographer writes that: “His text, The Economics of Taxation, stood for a time as a benchmark for texts on the subject of tax incidence.
Thank you for writing this. His widow spoke at one of the H.G. conferences I attended in the early 1970s. One little thing I picked up on was Brown saying that he didn't believe that with the Single Tax no other reforms would be necessary. I believe what George said was that the Single Tax would make all other reforms come easier.

Thanks again, Mike Curtis
