insights

Traditional policies to control urban sprawl can rub against commitments to private property rights. Land value taxation offers an alternative that's amenable to conservatives and progressive alike. "There is nothing inherently undemocratic in corporate speech, unless corporations themselves are undemocratic." The "real freedom" conception of social justice justifies granting each citizen the highest sustainable unconditional basic income payment, constrained by two conditions: respect for every individual's formal freedom, and an appropriate level of resources targeted towards the less able.
