The reason I'm tooting about this is because in the city-builder I'm playing¹, the geometric increase in wealth from labour specialisation is noticeable. A small town struggles to keep everyone fed, clothed, housed, educated, healthy, and safe.

A large town is able to support hospitals, emergency services, schools, kindergartens, grocery stores, universities, and more. Specialised labour really does make each additional mouth to feed *easier*.

It's a good game. 🧵

Anyway, here's the most comprehensive and accessible primer I've found for Henry George's ideas, written for a modern audience.

It's a long read, but it's very, very good, and much more understandable to the 21st century reader than the original book.
