About this listen
What if everything you hate about the economy could be traced back to one simple flaw? Not inflation. Not wages. Not productivity. Land. For centuries, owning land has meant owning leverage. Not because of what you build on it — but because of where it sits. And while society creates the value of that location, only landlords reap the reward. This book is about the fix. Georgism — a forgotten framework proposed by 19th-century thinker Henry George — is the idea that we should tax the value of land (not the stuff we build on it), eliminate taxes on labor and production, and finally sever the incentive to hoard what everyone else needs to live. It’s not socialism. It’s not utopianism. It’s not even radical. It’s the most efficient tax ever devised — and it might be the cleanest economic reform never implemented. Smart, sharp, and direct, this book walks you through the logic, the history, the obstruction, and the real-world potential of Georgism — and how it might just be the economic cure hiding in plain sight.
