There are human lifetimes worth of political philosophy that argues just that, yes. Many times that written about how land ought to be heavily taxed in accordance to its value.
For some examples, see the Lockean Proviso, Mutualism, and Georgism.
- UncleEntity 4y agoWhat if someone values the land to drain and grow crops more than the current owner who just likes ducks so keeps it in its natural state? I guess they should have to pay taxes on the potential agricultural value because wild ducks don’t have any intrinsic market value? I kind of suspect the basic argument is based on some fallacious theory of value…pretty much guarantee it methinks.
