Gaffney first read Henry George when a high school junior , and became notorious among his classmates for preaching
LVT to them . H e served in the S.W.
Pacific during W.W. II, where he observed the
results of land monopoly in The Philippines, on which he later wrote. He
came back to get a Ph.D. in Economics at Berkeley, where he tried to
meet his teachers' skepticism and apathy with a dissertation, "Land
Speculation as an Obstacle to Ideal Allocation of Land." Since then he has
published many books and articles on land use, economics, taxation, and public
policy. He has been a Professor of Economics at several Universities; a
journalist with TIME, Inc.; a researcher with Resources for the Future, Inc.;
the head of the British Columbia Institute for Economic Policy Analysis, which
he founded; an economic consultant to several businesses and government
agencies; and a frequent speaker on economic topics, domestic and foreign, and
in political campaigns. He has been Professor of Economics at U.C. Riverside
since 1976. He is proud to have survived, bloodied
but unbowed, muffled but never silenced, knocked down but never out, frequent political
and academic and personal attacks based on his outspoken and well-researched advocacy
of Georgist and related views and causes.
