5 A Critique

George's writings have drawn their share of critiques. The Austrian economist (see " Austrian school") Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, for example, expressed a negative judgment on George's discussion of the carpenter's plane.

"In the first place," Böhm-Bawerk wrote, "it is impossible to support his distinction of the branches of production into two classes, in one of which the vital forces of nature are supposed to constitute a special element which functions side by side with labour, and in the other of which this is not true .... The natural sciences have long since proved to us that the cooperation of nature is universal .... The muscular movements of the person using the plane would be of little use, if they did not have the assistance of the natural forces and properties of the plane iron."
