To continue with the afternoon of Saturday, July 29, 2017, Bill Batt continued with his account of Georgist books. The third of them (I posted previously about the first two) was Andy Wightman’s The Poor Had no Lawyers: Who Owns Scotland (and How They Got It). Dr. Batt commented that Mr. Wightman was being sued; his book reveals ownership of the Highlands, salmon streams, etc., partly by corporations outside the U.K. He mentioned a crowdfunding campaign to help Mr. Wightman with legal expenses; I don’t know the status of that.
The fourth book was Rethinking the Economics of Land and Housing, by Josh Ryan-Collins, Toby Lloyd, and Laurie Macfarlane.
The fifth book was No Debt, High Growth, Low Tax: Hong Kong’s Economic Miracle Explained, by Andrew Purves, 112 pages.
The sixth book was Urban Land Rent: Singapore as a Property State, by Anne Haila (who is Finnish), 304 pages, Wiley-Blackwell.
The seventh book was Land Tax in Australia: Fiscal Reform of Sub-National Government, by Vince Mangioni, $80 in paperback. If you aren’t rich, you can try getting it by interlibrary loan.
