Abstract

The Enclau de Sant Jordi, in Santa Coloma (Andorra la Vella), was one of the
seventeen single tax enclaves created between 1895 and 1933 in different parts of the world
(most were in the United States). It was inspired by the ideas of Henry George, creator of an
economic and social «system» with which he sought to be able to solve the major problems
of humanity. Most of them had little success, including Sant Jordi, which was founded in 1916
by Fiske Warren, a wealthy American philanthropist. He was a major promoter of these
enclaves, helped by Catalan Georgists with whom he became connected after his first trip to
Andorra from Barcelona in 1912. Josep Alemany, a Georgist born in Blanes (Girona), its last
trustee, formally cancelled the enclave’s trust certificate in 1941.
