The House of Commons hosted a seminar presented by The Coalition for Economic Justice on land value taxation. "The House of Commons seminar held last Tuesday was aimed at parliamentarians and policymakers. It examined the advantages of land value taxation, how it might be introduced and how transitional problems could be dealt with."
Almost one hundred years ago, England appeared to be moving towards a major shift from taxes on productive activities to taxes on land values. Winston Churchill was a passionate and outspoken supporter of land value taxation. World events interrupted the movement. Maybe current events will bring the movement back.
