What is a geoist?

Answer 1

A Geoist seeks to tax shift from taxing production - wages, sales, capital - to taxing the use and abuse of Natural Resources and the locational rent of land. The Land (classically defined as ALL natural resources of the world) is created by nature, not Man, and rightfully belongs to all of us, Geoists argue, and location and demand of rising populations give it its value, not anything private holders of Land do with it, so its value should be returned to the community that gave it its value. Productive activities should be simultaneously untaxed.
