Sunday 5/31  Dominic Frisby: Daylight Robbery: How Tax Shaped Our Past and Will Change Our Future
This is a recent interview of Frisby, and it is quite good. We will pick up where this one left off, so you might want to watch this first: Dominic Frisby: Daylight Robbery -- How Tax Shaped Our Past & Will Change Our Future

Dominic Frisby is best known as a politically incorrect comedian/songwriter, but he has long been focused on economic issues, particularly monetary and tax policies.

Videos:

He made this ten-minute video is called A Simple Guide to Land Value Tax. It is an excellent introduction to the history, principles, and implementation of land value tax. Frisby also made a great animated condensation of this video [2:46].

Let's Talk about Tax [50:18] is a comedic talk that introduces many topics that are later found in his book. At [20:20] he begins talking about land monopoly. At [42:23] he talks more about the unequal distribution of land and proceeds to argue for a land value tax.

The Top Ten Reasons for Wealth Inequality [5:08] is classically progressive, in the tradition of Georgists and Greenbackers.

His two YouTube channels are Dominic Frisby Comedy Videos and Dominic Frisby: Money, Markets and Other Matters.

He's also a  regular on Comedy Unleashed, a network of free-thinking comedians who are not to be cowled by demands for political correctness.

He has written Life After the State: Why We Don't Need Government, Bitcoin, the Future of Money?, and his most successful book so far, Daylight Robbery: How Tax Shaped Our Past and Will Change Our Future, which will be the primary focus of our discussion.

 

Dan Sullivan (host) is the director of Saving Communities and president of the Council of Georgist Organizations. Since 1978, he has led successful campaigns that resulted in several shifts to land value tax in Pittsburgh and in other Pennsylvania cities. He has been called to testify on tax economics by state legislative committees, Congressional sub-committees, and economic reform organizations in multiple countries, and his work has been featured in many publications, from The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Pittsburgh Press to Fortune Magazine.

Videos: Pittsburgh's 1990 Tax Swap [56:31];

The Politics of Reason [1:06:14]
