Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a collection of essays, explores the concept of natural taxation, particularly the idea of obtaining all public revenue from economic rent. It begins by tracing the development of this idea from the 18th century onwards, before moving into a more detailed examination of the subject. The author argues that taxing economic rent, rather than land itself, would be far more beneficial for society, and that doing so would avoid many of the pitfalls that plague existing tax systems. The book concludes by suggesting that natural taxation is the most just and efficient way to raise public revenue, and that it has the potential to create a more equitable and prosperous society. Its examination of the historical context, the theories behind economic rent, and the potential benefits of natural taxation make this an essential read for anyone interested in economics, public finance, or social justice.
