Help with sources

I added a source for Smith, Ricardo, Proudhon, and Lasalle being influences, and it is all the same source, but the way I did it now ends up with it being listed 4 times in the sources, with 4 different numbers, and I don't know how to fix it so that the source just shows up once and the correct number-reference for it shows up at each of the appropriate places.

I'm also not entirely sure if I formatted the source/reference correctly.

If anyone could fix this, or tell me how to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated. 217.105.19.119 (talk) 19:17, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Henry George's First Book

It was titled "Our Land and National Policy" and actually the first book that he wrote which also proposed a tax on land values. This is not generally appreciated. It was published in 1871. Macrocompassion (talk) 14:25, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
