He didn't provide a workable solution for how to value land.
I love George as much as anyone, but valuing land independently from what is on it is very tricky. Yes, yes, i know there are a bunch of suggestions for how to do this, but none of them seem to work well easily in practice.
I discovered Henry George in one of the previous threads on HN. Read the book review that was posted and felt like a light bulb went on in my head.
Over the next 2 months, i awkwardly would try to mention it in conversation to everybody haha. Most people patient enough to listen agree but see that there’s no hope of change because everybody’s lifesavings/nest are tied down to the value of their homes already.
One thing it made me realize is I should probably look into buying land more.
Read Progress and Poverty, he predicted it all over 100 years ago, and provided the solution. https://oll.libertyfund.org/title/george-progress-and-povert...
