''A Perplexed Philosopher'' is a book written by George Henry in 1892. The book is an examination of the various utterances made by Mr. Herbert Spencer on the land questions, with some incidental reference to his Synthetic Philosophy. The author, George Henry, was an American economist and social theorist who is best known for his work on the single tax theory. In this book, Henry critiques Spencer’s views on land ownership and the distribution of wealth. He argues that Spencer’s ideas are flawed and that they do not take into account the social and economic realities of the time. The book is an important contribution to the debate on land reform and the role of government in regulating the distribution of wealth. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of economic thought and the development of social theory in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
