How Much Land Does a Man Need? (1886)
Tolstoy was a Georgist, and this is basically a little Georgist short story.https://www.jstor.org/stable/3487337The basic point of Georgism is that landownership is the root of most of the economic evil in the world and land should all be expropriated and held in common. (but don't want to expropriate capital or do anything to it, unlike the Marxists: Marx called Georgism "Capitalism's last ditch")So strangely enough, it's not about greed in general, it's about land specifically.
