Robert Schalkenbach Foundation

The Robert Schalkenbach Foundation (RSF), an operating foundation based in New York, New York, was founded in 1925. The organization is dedicated to promoting the social philosophy and economic reforms advocated by Henry George, a prominent 19th-century thinker. With a team of four employees, RSF focuses on raising public awareness regarding George's ideas, particularly his concept of a "single tax on land values." RSF achieves its mission primarily through the publication and distribution of books and scholarly articles, with a particular emphasis on works by Henry George. This includes his most famous book, "Progress and Poverty," which has consistently been a bestseller. RSF believes that George's work offers insightful solutions to contemporary challenges related to land ownership and resource allocation. RSF's core philosophy revolves around the belief that all individuals have an equal right to access the Earth's resources. They argue that the current system of private land ownership leads to unfair advantages and economic disparities. The Robert Schalkenbach Foundation can be found online at schalkenbach.org.
