Beneficial Consequences

The implementation of the Henry George Foundation's approach to sharing the value of our common and natural resources, and paying in a different way than we do for our public services and infrastructure, while technically and politically simple to implement, would have far-reaching and profound beneficial consequences for society and the environment.

The Foundation's approach addresses the key issues of the 21st Century: equitable access to our common resources, a fair system of taxation, rural and urban land rights, the creative liberation of enterprise & development, the elimination of involuntary poverty & debt, the realising of environmental justice, the full empowering of communities and the proper realisation of public life, with its necessary public services and infrastructure, and the laying of the foundations of profound international trade justice.
