Holding land as investment property and a way to accumulate wealth is actually maladaptive to a market economy. This tenure approach has been identified as a primary cause of the maldistribution of wealth problem which is rampant in capitalist systems. Land can not respond to supply and demand dynamics. There can be increasing demand for land but there is never a corresponding increase of supply as the supply of land was determined aeons ago by whatever unfathomable forces of the universe created it. The commodification of land and land speculation inflates land values to the point where those who have only labor to contribute to the productive process must pay ever higher amounts for access to land for shelter.
Taxation placed upon wage labor further decreases purchasing capacity.
Those with the most valuable land, and there is always the situation that some land is more valuable than others, have an advantage over those with less valuable land. Having a more advantageous position, the holders of the better lands see their wealth increase above and beyond the wealth of those with the poorer land and those who have no land at all. They then frequently use their greater wealth and power to acquire additional land. Soon land values rise more rapidly than wages. Workers must borrow to pay for land.
