Synopsis

This book outlines the ideas of economic writer Henry George and advocates for the abolition of all taxation except that placed upon land value. The author posits that levying land-based taxes is the most ethical and efficient form of taxation. This is because it would tax individuals in proportion to the value of the public services the site enables them to enjoy, and would result in increased economic activity, efficiency, and the elimination of many of the negative effects of other forms of taxation. The book discusses the benefits of land value taxation in depth, clearly presenting a complex economic concept in a way that is accessible, persuasive, and thought-provoking.
