Profile

What's the coolest thing you've ever seen?
Is our fascination with the word 'cool' an unconscious reaction to the heating of our atmosphere?
About Me:
Grew up on a farm in Monteview, Idaho.
Fell in love with computers through a C64.
Constructed concrete domes, including in Murmansk, Russia.
Worked as a system-level c/c++ developer for 10+ years.
Through an amature study of economics I uncovered a special case which approaches maximum efficiency but has been accidentally ignored.
I'm now working on a way to communicate this surprisingly simple solution to bring Swaraj to each through Swadeshi for all.

Hmm, I only just found out about Land Value Tax and Georgism last week and here's a discussion about it!

Actually, my conception is that land is owned collectively by a group, which we'll call "citizens" for now. Leases on that land to use it in various ways, including farming and putting buildings on, are auctioned and then proceeds divided among the population.

I think that decentralized infrastructure like composting toilets and solar panels and so on are critical because they greatly reduce the need for the State to do anything at all. People buy and pay for their own utilities.

In terms of how decisions are made on things like, say, length of leases auctioned and which forms of money are acceptable in those events... dunno, haven't got to that yet, there are lots of plausible options!

So... go for it :)

Ah, interesting... well... hm.... ok, I get the outline, a little, but I think this needs clear worked examples.

My favorite example for figuring out how an idea works is to say "imagine a restaurant was created and operated this way - tell me how that would work?"

Can you do that? Does it break down to such a simple example?

Right now, for example, I'm getting quite convinced of geolibertarianism. In that example, the only difference from standard practice is:

1> customers might be living off the ground rent charged to all property owners by the State

2> the restaurant would pay that rent

everything else is basically unchanged - how money is raised, how people are paid etc. No transactional taxes, of course.

Business as usual. So tell me more.
