GEORGISM
GEORGISM
The Economic Cure Hiding in Plain Sight
by James Johnson
Dedication
For every tenant who thought it was their fault.
It wasn’t.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
THANK YOU TO the thinkers who saw through the noise.
To Henry George, of course, but also the everyday people who never stopped asking why rent was so high, why land was so empty, and why nothing ever seemed to change.
To the cities experimenting with land value tax, and to the nerds keeping this flame alive in forums, blogs, Discords, and policy papers.
And to the landlords reading this and sweating?
Good.
