Land Tax

Post by macdoc » Sun Aug 18, 2024 4:32 am

This socially destructive nonsense of every growing disparity in wealth will not end under current policies.

One nation has short circuited and the UK has an opportunity.....maybe even Australia under a Labour gov.

It's been attempted before ...even by Churchill...maybe the time is now...
How did Singapore achieve a home ownership rate of 90 per cent? Can Australia learn anything from it?

Georgism
Georgism, also called in modern times Geoism, and known historically as the single tax movement, is an economic ideology holding that people should own the value that they produce themselves, while the economic rent derived from land—including from all natural resources, the commons, and urban locations—should belong equally to all members of society.

Developed from the writings of American economist and social reformer Henry George, the Georgist paradigm seeks solutions to social and ecological problems, based on principles of land rights and public finance that attempt to integrate economic efficiency with social justice.
