Line 78 ⟶ 82:
Georgism seeks to achieve justice, prosperity, and progress through a fair distribution of economic rent and the annihilation of deadweight loss from inefficient taxes and harmful monopolies. He believes that there should only be one tax, being the land value tax. He views property rights as only extending to the properties of labor and capital, and since land is neither, it's free real estate. Though his main bit is only having one tax, he also generally supports free markets and free trade, and he sometimes promotes a citizen's dividend and pollution taxes, as a treat.
Overall, his ideology is centered around land & its distribution
While his views on land rights and natural resource ownership are very collectivist, to combat unjust inequality, most of his other views are liberal and relatively individualistic, focusing on creating efficiency in the economy
His father [[File: Physiocracypix.png]] [[Physiocracy]] was quite old and absent when he was born, so he was mostly brought up by his uncle [[File: Clib.png]] [[Classical Liberalism]].
Line 111 ⟶ 115:
=== Deontological Arguments ===
Georgists generally believe that land naturally belongs to all people for a very simple reason
Therefore if you wish to own land and keep the general population off your land, Georgists propose you should pay a LTV (Land Value Tax) for the privilege of owning that land and it's resources. As opposed to just hoarding a monopoly on a item which you did not invent and therefore can claim no special privilege too.
