In this world there is room for everyone and the earth is rich and can provide for everyone, but we have lost the way.. but do not despair. the misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed. the bitterness of those who fear the way of human progress
Georges work is both scholarly & scientific. his discovery, the law of human progress cant be overestimated. I dont see how any society that fails to understand & apply the principles of freedom & justice can hope to flourish. There will be a rebirth of freedom #henrygeorge@aier
@mises@TroyBVincent 1. OP has to be ignorant to describe automation as ludditism. What used to require 100K jobs in automobile factory, now takes 1000 or less. 2. @AndrewYangVFA doesnt justify UBI as maximising employment. 3. UBI doesnt only enable spending, but investing saving & entrepreneurialism
@mises@TroyBVincent As Milton Friedman noted, the lest bad tax is the Land Value Tax. This is what should fund the UBI after core services are funded. This is also the only restitutional tax. Taxing massive pollution is the next best because massive pollution violates property rights & causes harm
John Dewey: "Henry George is one of the great names among the world's social philosophers. It would require less than the fingers of the two hands to enumerate those who, from Plato down, rank with him..."
Henry George is left out of American education because he was correct.
Land is for living/housing/utilising for the good of the community. Not for banking/rent-seeking. Marcus Aurelius got it and would've loved Henry George.
"That which is not good for the bee-hive cannot be good for the bees" — #MarcusAurelius
@kiltedgeorgist @casca911 I don't think that. Why do you think that i think that? LVT incentivises affordable land access, it doesn't deprive people of land.
On #GeorgismDay, honor those who,
Seeing the Vice and Misery That Spring From
The Unequal Distribution
Of Wealth and Privilege,
Feel the Possibility of a Higher Social State
And Would Strive For Its Attainment
—Henry George
