    Every one of those people you just named are foundational economists of Neoliberalism. A system we tried and is part of the reason the world is so shit.

    Enough with the old ideas already.

      What about Henry George, then?

      Henry George (September 2, 1839 – October 29, 1897) was an American political economist and journalist. His writing was immensely popular in 19th-century America and sparked several reform movements of the Progressive Era. He inspired the economic philosophy known as Georgism, the belief that people should own the value they produce themselves, but that the economic value of land (including natural resources) should belong equally to all members of society. George famously argued that a single tax on land values would create a more productive and just society.
