The Case Plainly Stated (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A practical look at a single tax on land values that could fund government and reshape wages and rents.

This edition presents a clear case for a new political economy built on land, labor, and capital. It explains how wealth is created, who gets it, and why the price of land matters to workers, farmers, and entrepreneurs alike. The core idea is simple: tax land value and abolish other taxes, so access to natural resources is fair for all and wages can rise as productivity grows.

Readers will learn how rent, profit, and wages fit into the wealth created by society, and why extraordinary land values can trap enterprise. It outlines the remedy—funding government with a tax on land values—and how this approach could simplify government and reduce tax collection costs. The text also discusses the impact on farmers, landlords, and workers, and why land value taxation is proposed as a just and practical reform.

• How land value affects wages, rents, and investment decisions
• Why abolishing all other taxes could lighten the cost of government
• How the tax on land values is meant to be calculated and collected
• What changes supporters expect for farmers, workers, and landlords

Ideal for readers of economics, public policy, and reform-minded nonfiction seeking a concise argument for land value taxation as a path to fairer prosperity.
