Georgist Conference in Baltimore, Part Seven

To continue with Open Mike, Tuesday morning, August 28, 2018: Mike Curtis said that a cousin of his edits Worker’s World. She lives in Manhattan, and thinks that land is no longer the measure of people’s wealth; she said so the last time Mike Curtis met her. Now his sister says that she, the cousin, is going to read Progress and Poverty.

Dr. Polly Cleveland said that rich people often own stocks and bonds, but corporations own land. Corporations are unions of landowners, more powerful than labor unions.

That concludes my account of Open Mike. Accounts of other events will follow.
