Henry George’s quote, at the peak of the 1880s Australian land bubble
“In the colonies [of Australia] I have been through, the curse of land monopoly and land speculation is over everything. I don’t know of any new country where more striking instances of the absurdity and injustice of our present treatment of land is to be seen.”
- Adelaide Observer, 26 April 1890
