About this listen

Land and the policies that govern it hold an incredible but largely forgotten power over our lives. When land is wasted and squandered, we get sky-high rents, oppressed workers, ruined businesses, depleted natural resources, a polluted earth, and an impoverished society. Poor land policy is the chief culprit behind sky-high urban rents, homelessness, and endless suburban sprawl.

Meanwhile, real estate has become the world's number one asset class, comprising an ever-growing share of bank loans worldwide. Land Is a Big Deal draws on the insights of legendary American economist Henry George to explain how things got this way, as well as what we can do to fix it.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

No need to read the original progress and poverty unless you like the prose. This has everything you need including data. An extra chapter on entrepreneurial communities in contrast to UBI would be welcome.
