Geoism explained on Public Access TV by...me

By Scott Baker

Geoism and the Land Value Tax Geoism, based on the writings of economist Henry George, is an economic philosophy which promotes a single tax on the value of land. This theory proposes to eliminate/ reduce all other taxes and promote income equality. Scott Baker, president of Common Ground-NYC will discuss these topics.

I was happy to be interviewed by Public Access TV host Lou Puliafito here:

and a second time here:

We talked about Geoism/Georgism, Greenbacking and State Banking.  It was a lot to get in in under half an hour, but these are all important topics for our perilous economic times.  I hope you will have a view.
