This is largely the point of Georgism. Basically the premise is that land is the most valuable asset a society has and since all profits tend to accrue to land holders in the long run it is immoral to have any system other than the government being the only landholder with the people being able to enter perpetual leases for the full value of the land.
They even made a song about it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Land_(song) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Land_(song)
