A quick summary from wikipedia of Georgism:
> Georgism (known historically as the single tax movement) is an economic ideology holding that, although people should own the value they produce themselves, the economic rent derived from land – including from all natural resources, the commons, and urban locations – should belong equally to all members of society.
Here rent and land are given precise definitions.
Personally I found the blogs above a very interesting read (or listening).
