…funnel all increases in income to landowners as rent. I was not familiar with this theory until a few days ago, when someone here on HN linked to an online version (edited and abridged) of Henry George's Progress and Poverty [0]. I've been reading it since; its clarity is stunning: I feel as if a great veil has been lifted from my eyes. Whether I'll still feel that way in a few days, months, or years remains to be seen,…
Arbitrary titles granted to someone that allows them to control a piece of the Earth in perpetuity? That doesn't strike you as a recipe for disaster and inequality? For a full answer, try: "Progress and Poverty" by Henry George.

……将所有收入增长以地租的形式输送给地主。几天前 HN 上有人发了亨利·乔治《进步与贫困》[0]的网络版链接（经过编辑和删节），我才了解到这个理论。从那时起我就一直在读；它的透彻程度令人震撼：我感觉就像眼前的一层厚厚的迷雾被彻底揭开。过几天、几个月还是几年后我是否还会有这种感觉，尚待观察，……

平白无故授予某人产权，允许他们永久控制地球上的一块土地？难道你没觉得这正是灾难和不平等的根源所在？要寻找完整的答案，不妨看看：亨利·乔治的《进步与贫困》。
