The idea that the great areas of land in a country are being held by a small proportion of the population and this is destructive to the opportunities these areas would otherwise provide, should be made more clear. We should better express this claim by the fact that it is the USEFUL SITES not simply the big areas of it that are being privitized. I suspect that were it based on the VALUE OF THE LAND being privitized and not just the proportion of its area, the resulting numbers would result in the associated facts in this explanation being even more extreem.
Great insight, thanks. I was from the Thatcher school of privatization in the 1990s. I was wrong. I have changed my mind completely in the last few years.
Good article! I've always thought that South Africa was particularly well suited to the Georgist message.
