IN CONVERSATION ABOUT TAKEN FOR A RIDE, Shepheard-Walwyn host Jonathan Brown concludes our exploration of the updated edition of Taken for a Ride: Trains, Taxpayers and the Treasury, sharing key ideas and memorable passages from the book.
This episode is dedicated to Dave Wetzel, former vice chair of transport for London and author of the book’s postscript, who sadly passed away during post-production. Like Don Riley, Dave was a tireless campaigner for a fairer society who devoted himself to improving the lives of Londoners.
Understanding Citizen's Dividend
The Citizen’s Dividend
Using the revenue from land and resources to:
- fund a yearly payment to all citizens
- abolish all other taxes
- rid us of all paid politicians
Three great but still incomplete examples
- How Alaska manages its oil resources to give every single Alaskan around $1,500 per year.
- How Singapore manages its land to provide affordable housing for all its citizens.
- How Norway manages the Rent from its oil and real estate holdings for the public good, making it now the richest country on the planet
But countries can do even better! The key is in the land value.
See how a fairer system can establish lower housing costs and strengthen communities.
A simple reform that would change everything: the wages you receive, the housing costs you pay and the freedom you deserve.
