That shift alone - toward equity, productivity, and shared prosperity - builds a stronger, more cohesive society.

We need a new way of seeing the economy, where land and the commons are recognised as shared foundations of wealth, not assets to be hoarded.
A system where people are rewarded for what they produce, not what they own.

more fairly and efficiently.
It also builds fairness into the very structure of the economic system. When poverty is reduced, distrust in government fades, political tensions ease, and the risk of conflict declines.

When the rules are rigged to reward monopoly over productive contribution, public trust in political systems collapses.
Taxing unearned land value and using it to fund public works - education, health etc, while removing the tax burden from workers and producers - frees up the economy to operate
