Yes we have but corporations are not passing this on. Plus the other side of the coin is land prices are set by income after food/heating/clothing so any rise in productivity is immediately captured by land owners.
If LA became 20% more productive and it were passed on to workers it would be passed on to landlords. We need full land reform.
I agree we should work less but this guy should spend less time dreaming and some time acquainting himself with Henry George.
- redblacktree 11y ago> We need full land reform. What does this mean to you?
- branchless 11y agoLand value tax so that productivity gains do not go to the land owners. And with this an end to a tax on labour. This way lies true freedom.
- redblacktree 11y agoYou seem to have stated the goals but not the means. How do we achieve such a system? Higher property taxes? How will they be distributed?
