Charlie Jane Anders wrote about the difficulties of making YA Star Trek as a reaction to the cancelation of Starfleet Academy. It's an interesting look at the ethos at the core of the YA genre, of Star Trek, and of Star Wars. There's interesting overlaps of Star Wars and Star Trek both being visions of the role of the United States post-World War II. Marcia B. of Traverse Fantasy wrote a review of the third edition of OSRIC, a first-edition AD&D retroclone. I like the analysis of retroclones […]https://alexanderkeane.com/2026/04/01/interesting-links-week-of-4-1-26/

Henry George's Progress and Poverty is now available as aa beautifully formatted, free, ebook
Progress and Poverty, first published in 1879, was American political economist Henry George’s most popular book. It explores why the economy of the mid-to-late 1800s had seen a simultaneous economic growth and growth in poverty. The book’s appeal was in its balance of moral and economic arguments, challenging the popular notion that the poor, through uncontrolled population growth, were responsible for their own woes. Inspired by his years living in San Francisco and his own experience with privation, George argues instead that poverty had grown due to the increasing speculation and monopolization of land, as landowners had captured the increases in growth, investment, and productivity through the rising cost of rent.
To solve this, George proposes the complete taxation of the unimproved value of land, thus returning the value of land, created through location, to the community. This solution would incentivize individuals to use the land they own productively and remove the tendency to speculate upon land’s increasing value. George’s argument was profoundly liberal, as individuals retain the right to own land and enjoy the profits generated from production upon it.
