The exploration of political economy by Hegel and Henry George reveals their differing approaches to the problem of poverty. Hegel struggled to reconcile the need for freedom in civil society with the realities of physical deprivation and social alienation. In contrast, George identified the paradox of increasing poverty amid rising production and proposed a single tax policy as a solution. This work argues that George's approach addresses the issues Hegel highlighted, yet also suggests that Hegel's conception of individual life hindered the implementation of George's remedy.
