In this video, I debunk Georgism. Georgism is a theory that argues that every person does not have a right to the absolute ownership of their land, that they have to pay a land value tax (LVT). It's been debunked many times, but not by Henry George himself.

Whether you're a Georgist or not, this video is a great resource for learning more about the theory and its history. I'll share with you the reasons why Georgism has been debunked, as well as some of the challenges that it poses. So if you're wondering why Georgism is wrong, this is the video for you!

In this video, I'm going to debunk the Georgist argument that land value taxation is the answer to all of society's problems. I'll show you why land value taxation doesn't work and why it's a bad solution to our economic woes.

If you're curious about Georgism or want to learn more about the history of Henry George, then this video is for you! I'll explain everything you need to know about Georgism, from its origins to its current status in the political world. By the end of this video, you'll have a better understanding of why land value taxation isn't the answer to our economic problems and why Georgism is a bad solution!

Georgism is a political and economic theory based on the theory of social justice propounded by the 19th century American economist Henry George. Georgism is a radical political and economic proposal that would replace all forms of taxation with a single tax on land value.

Land Value Tax is the most common form of land taxation and is also the most radical proposal of Georgism. In theory, a Land Value Tax would be a tax on the entire value of land, including the value of improvements and natural resources. Proponents of Land Value Tax argue that this type of tax would be more fair and efficient than any other form of taxation.
