“One reason why I prefer to use #geoism over #georgism is that I dislike to have ‘isms’ or ideologies named after a specific person.”

This magazine cover is so full of falsehoods. World’s greatest game? Yikes. How monopoly is like life? No. Win every time? Stop.
#Monopoly is the worst. A complete corruption of The Landlord’s Game, which was intended to be an illustration of the economic theories of Henry George. Its main point was to show how concentration of land ownership creates societal ills.
Now it’s just an interminable game that leaves everyone miserable.

From @joannechocolat
Elizabeth J. Magie Phillips (1866-1948) was an American game designer, #inventor, feminist, and writer. She invented The Landlord's Game, the direct precursor to #Monopoly, although she was never credited for this during her lifetime.
. .. ...
Personal note: she said “the object of the game is not only to afford amusement to the players, but to illustrate to them how under the present or prevailing system of land tenure, the landlord has an advantage over other enterprises and also how the single tax would discourage land speculation.”
She was a proponent of #Georgism, a single tax movement widely popularized by charismatic politician Henry George through his first book, Progress and Poverty - an economic ideology that government should be funded by a tax on land rent (wealthy landlords) & not by taxes on labour.
He might have been on to something! 🧐 Can we have this now? Please? 🙏

@benlockwood The environmental movement is just a negative application of the labor movements principle that workers ought to get the fruits of their labor. Nature isn’t the fruits of anyone’s labor, but everyone has an equal claim to it including future generations. #HenryGeorge had the right idea.

CW: Taxation
Why do I keep saying that landowners are the ones that should pay higher taxes?
It's because it doesn't make sense to me that land ownership should be respected for "not paying into the system".
Like, if you want to play this silly game that little boys play of territorialism in elementary school playgrounds, where they draw imaginary boundaries, then by all means do so.
But for people who didn't consent to it, you gotta have a good reason why the respect for imaginary boundaries should be enforced.
To make it really easy: don't tax improvements; just land ownership.

The Reddit comments regarding the following post are calling out how it is absolutely fair that BC assessment has reclassified Big Bang Cider's land use as "light industrial", but I don't think land use should be taxed more.
Just land occupation should be taxed, and nothing else.
(Of course, I'm probably the "anti-tax (except land)" equivalent of marxists: I'm probably missing nuance.)

Cities covering the cost of social services is being labeled as “bad news.”
That label is doing a lot of ideological work.
In reality, this may be the beginning of a long-overdue shift: moving the cost of running a city away from workers, and toward those who own the land.
This shift is good news, not bad news!

I’m aware of these issues, but at a bare minimum people’s time is limited. Even if all other resources are abundant, that fundamental scarcity is still there.
Keeping production within ecological limits is entirely solved with #Georgism’s common ownership of land and natural resources.
Note that growth, once it accounts for social costs such as ecological considerations, is good. There are ways to make it take that into account. Economic value is based on people’s desires.

The labor theory of #AdamSmith doesn’t have to be developed as a theory of value like #Marx did. It can also be developed as a normative theory of property. The labor theory of property, unlike the LTV, is meaningful and coherent. David Ellerman has formalized this ideological road not taken.
Smith was an early critic of landlordism. This line of critique eventually became #Georgism.
I doubt Smith would endorse today’s #capitalism or the views of many modern pro-capitalists.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@jlou/115339814897664687
Georgism and property theory contradict anti-taxation views. Land services and natural resources aren’t the fruits of anyone’s labor, but their use is a negative fruits of everyone’s labor. Taxation compensates for these liabilities everyone has.
Economists use efficiency criteria to judge capitalism, but I question those criteria. A system isn’t efficient if it doesn’t distribute its gains broadly.

Looking up the original sale value of my house on the county records site revealed to me that the latest appraisal valued the land at around $30,000. That is almost exactly what my back of the napkin calculations for a 100% Land Value Tax would cost!? Which means by working backwards from what Federal, State, County, and City budgets are I determined a reasonably accurate Land Value? Almost identical to what the county appraises it as?
This isn’t hard? We could do this.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1051137716302868 “this impact differs between residential land and commercial and industrial land. Residential land appears to be more responsive to changes in the tax differential than commercial and industrial land” We found a similar effect looking at #cville assessment data, we think because commercial and industrial land is more likely to be surface parking. #LandValueTax #LandTax #TaxReform #housing #Georgism

Interesting short write up from 1957 of the #Fairhope Alabama #SingleTax company, a successful long term #Georgist effort.

Though I think that the key concept that is missing here is the equivalence of rent and interest and the malign effect of both.

Happy to see a modern article on my favorite historical #housing reform: the great 1920 #AlSmith law of #NYC , which supported the creation of the many 1920s homes that are still popular there, though terribly pricey today https://thedailyrenter.com/2025/01/24/how-a-small-georgist-reform-saved-newyork-city-al-smiths-1920-property-tax-reform/ #Georgism #TaxReform
