Henry George's journey from a boy-sailor to managing editor of the San Francisco Times reveals his deep engagement with the issue of poverty. His experiences as a type-setter and newspaper editor fueled his quest to understand why prosperity often coincides with the suffering of the poor. Untrained in economics, he approached the subject with a fresh perspective, driven by the stark contrast between wealth and destitution in society. His determination to uncover the root causes of this economic paradox shaped his influential ideas on social reform.
