COLLECTING LAND VALUES: INSTANCES, ITERATIONS, AND THE WAY FORWARD

What is LVT and what lessons have we learned from years of implementing it?

In this 5-session course, Joshua Vincent will document compare and contrast land value taxation experiments in the United States and beyond. The course will define what LVT is, highlight its different manifestations in public policy and most importantly, show why it matters. It will also explain and measure progress where it exist and, discuss the reasons why LVT was rejected in some jurisdictions.

Dates: Thursdays – 1/7, 1/21, 1/28, 2/4, 2/11 

Time: 6:30PM to 8:00PM EST

    Big Tech, Technofeudalism and the End of Capitalism

    In this course, we turn our attention to one of the biggest winners of the Covid-19 Pandemic: Big Tech. These increasingly powerful and financialized firms routinely represent themselves as ‘innovators‘, ‘problem solvers‘ and self-anointed forces for good by connecting users and delivering value worldwide. But are the solutions provided by Big Tech as good as they contend? What does the rise of Big Tech entail for wealth inequality, democracy and capitalism itself?

    Based on Yanis Varoufakis’ latest book – Technofeudalism, What Killed Capitalism, this course investigates the main challenges presented by Tech monopolies and discusses Georgist answers.
