 About Henry George
George's central contribution was to show that the distinction between individual property and common property forms a rational basis for distinguishing the domain of public activity from that of the private.
The easiest way to repair this gap in George's theory is to specify that rather than having just one axiom, that each person has a right to his or her productive powers, he actually has two, the second one being that all persons have equal rights to natural opportunities.
George recognized that land value is largely a function of how society has elected to invest in any general neighborhood; there is no argument for any one titleholder to reap the reward of what others have invested.

Plunkett’s study does support more thorough investigation of unexplained or suspicions head injury in infants and young children, but as mentioned in the second editorial (Harding, Risdon and Krous6), none of the head injury victims in that study were less than 12 months of age, which is when inflicted head injury is most common.
Geddes and Plunkett, and Squier, decry the absence of evidence, but deny a population based study that demonstrated that inflicted head injury was very probably the cause of 82% of cases of subdural haematoma in the first two years of life when prematurity, infection and neurosurgical interventions were excluded7.
Geddes and Plunkett have done a great service and should be congratulated for highlighting the potential for diagnostic mistake and in their challenge to the validity of other belief systems in the field of infant injury.
