Aboriginal land titles once again steamrollered. This time, to the detriment of the whole world. The failure to share the earth is the root of our climate disaster, fueled by unbridled and runaway exploitation and global overshoot.

Well said, David. Thanks for posting.

Yea, that's why humanity needs the geoist market mechanism  -- to facilitate compensating people equally for the use and abuse of nature.

The other important benefit of geonomics is that it is self-regulating; only projects that raise local land values are self-financing and thus are warranted, and will be built. Under the geoist model pork-barrel and white elephants don't proceed since they are't self-financing.

Economic rent capture incents the optimal use of land and resources (and labour-intensive production by untaxing it), and avoids sprawl and waste, leaving more nature alone.
