Author Lars Ducey advocates for the Land Value Tax as a mechanism to resolve economic inequality by capturing unearned land rent while incentivizing productive labor and capital development. His proposed transition strategies, supported by his startup Geoland Solutions, aim to replace regressive income taxes with a split-rate system that generates trillions in revenue for public services and a universal citizen dividend. The framework extends beyond physical geography to address digital assets and virtual real estate, arguing that these modern scarcity points require similar taxation to prevent monopolization and ensure fair access.
