Geoism - The Needed Moral Revolution, with Nicolaus Tideman
<p><strong>Nicolaus Tideman</strong> is probably one of the most famous Georgist economists in the world. He earned his PhD in economics at the University of Chicago, had various positions at universities and was a Senior Staff Economist for the Council of Economic Advisors. Since 1973 he has been at Virginia Tech. He published not only about economic topics but also about public decision-making.</p> <p> He has been the author of many scientific publications, but he also wants to make the world a better place with Geoism. </p> <p>His essay <strong>The Needed Moral Revolution</strong> is in the book Rent Unmasked: <a href="https://shepheardwalwyn.com/product/rent-unmasked/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://shepheardwalwyn.com/product/rent-unmasked/</a></p> <p>In this episode, Mr Tideman explains his view on liberty. People should have the option to form communities with whom they prefer to cooperate. There should be much more diversity in regulatory and tax regimes. Geoism can enable us to achieve this. This can enhance our liberty and eventually result in a more peaceful world.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>The book he recommends is The Mason Gaffney Reader:</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mason-Gaffney-Reader-Solving-Unsolvable/dp/0974184462" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.amazon.com/Mason-Gaffney-Reader-Solving-Unsolvable/dp/0974184462</a></p> <p><br /></p>

Geoism: explaining how we can share the earth
<p>This will be a very boring episode because I do not have an exciting guest today. I will just read a piece from a book about how we can share the earth.</p> <p>I think I should do this because people who love liberty and are concerned about government intervention may be puzzled or even shocked if they hear that most geoist are in favor of a form of taxation. I agree that it is problematic to promote coercive governments as the best way to solve problems. And I prefer non-coercive forms of cooperation. We may find ways to do this.</p> <p>However, if we want people to live in liberty, we must find a way to ensure access to natural resources. A schedule of a land value tax and a government is not a proposal to have more government interference. It’s just one of the possible ways to ensure that everyone has access to what nature provides for free. </p> <p>I hope this helps you to understand the principle behind the Land Value Tax.</p> <p> Want to read more about this topic?</p> <p><br></p> <p>I recommend the work of authors such as <a href="https://shepheardwalwyn.com/nicolaus-tideman-author/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Nicolaus Tideman</a> and <a href="https://shepheardwalwyn.com/product/how-our-economy-really-works-a-radical-reappraisal-brian-hodgkinson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Brian Hodgkinson</a>.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Or if you are willing to read a dissertation, consider <a href="https://www.uu.se/en/events/defences/2024-06-07-martin-jacobson-land--liberty-on-the-natural-monopoly-of-violence" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">this one.</a></p>
