A bstract . The writer [Dr. Preston Bradley ] discovered Henry George through reading one of his great literary followers, Leo Tolstoy ; later the author came to know intimately many prominent Single Taxers. The experiences convinced him that the basic economic ideas of George cannot be successfully challenged. As a religious leader, the writer believes that religion should never and cannot ever be separated from life. So he believes that the application of ethics to economic life is as religious as the statement of Christianity's oldest and most sacred creed. George formulated a reformed system for capitalism based on biblical morality , the highest ethical standards of the modern age and its most exalted insights. We live in an age of con‐tinuing economic crisis. We must infuse our moral and religious prin‐ciples into our economic system or we are lost. This is a responsi‐bility bequeathed us hy the wisest and best thinkers of the past, among the greatest of whom was Henry George.
