I'd like to agree, but land ownership is essentially local monopoly. To see exactly how this can go horribly wrong, read up on the Irish famine, which was mostly caused by how the England-based land-owners were using the land to extract value. The local people didn't own any land and would have had to leave the entire island for an alternative.
