    "Considering the fundamental economic fallacy underlying single tax theory, the tenacity of the movement is surprising. Mr. Jorgensen's book adds nothing to single tax theory but is simply an attempt to capitalize on the current depression to gain new disciples for the faith. The single tax as a cure-all for all econmic and social ills lies quiescent in prosperity but inevitably, in periods of depression like the present, it bursts forth with renewed vigor."
