Lars Doucet - Progress, Poverty, Georgism, & Why Rent is Too Damn High
发布时间 2023-01-09 21:00:34 来源
摘要
One of my best episodes ever. Lars Doucet is the author of Land is a Big Deal, a book about Georgism which has been praised by Vitalik Buterin, Scott Alexander, and Noah Smith. Sam Altman is the lead investor in his new startup, ValueBase: https://www.valuebase.co/
Talking with Lars completely changed how I think about who creates value in the world and who leaches off it.
We go deep into the weeds on Georgism:
- Why do even the wealthiest places in the world have poverty and homelessness, and why do rents increase as fast as wages?
- Why are land-owners able to extract the profits that rightly belong to labor and capital?
- How would taxing the value of land alleviate speculation, NIMBYism, and income and sales taxes?
