It's about stopping people doing no work and deriving economic value. It's not about stopping economic progress, nor is it about stopping people retaining the value they add. Quite the opposite.
- lordnacho 10y agoThat's right, and economically efficient. Interesting question though. What about land that is reclaimed from the sea, or land that requires investment in order to not fall into the sea? Such land cannot be said to exist independent of someone's efforts, and we could not make such arguments.
