With LAND the profits (community created) is creamed off by private landowners. Tax land by its "value" - no needed to nationalize. The planning system crams all into small urban pockets - only 7.7% is settled in the UK. LAND is rigged. LABOUR is rigged by planning regs, wage policies, immigration.

Use Land Valuation Taxation, relaxed planning, no wage restriction laws, and a strong monopolies commission.

Hong Kong & Singapore raise 40% & 33% by LVT, giving low income tax.

@procommenter what nonsense, it is the fault of S.H. that so many children died if indeed it was that many.

@AndroidPolitician Well said.

Globalization is good, but incomplete. Free mobility of labor must follow free capital and free trade in goods and services. However, understandably, many citizen in the rich countries don't want to share their wealth with poor countries' citizens. So we either have democracy and global inequality, or we globalize over the objections of the West's citizens, gradually close the gap in per-capita income between nations, and grow from there. Probably a combination of both is what's going to happen.

Good riddance to the braying jackass Christ' Hitchens who supported the sanctions and the war of pelf against Iraq. [Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: "We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?"; Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price--we think the price is worth it." — "60 Minutes" (5/12/96)]

i think the whole POINT of globalisation is to "stymie national policies and cripple nation's independent policies" (1:29). this is a proposed holistic method of control through homogeneous uniformity. "they" can't control us if we're all acting differently, thinking differently - but if we all act the same, all think the same way, how much easier is "their" job going to be, right? interesting point about the bretton woods charter breach, too. i'd like to see that breach being prosecuted. pffft

@AndroidPolitician الكوني والعالمي والعولمي , universal , global and another one , perhaps cosmic , as my professor said , each try to unit people , but under different banner . globalisation under a set of economic values , universal demand , a set of human values ( manners or morals ) , sorry for my bad english , i never used english in philosophy

What's the world in arabic and just use google translate. I don't think there's a word that can describe global connectedness well that's not "Globalisation".
