**Georgism** (otherwise known as **geoism**) is an economic philosophy holding that the economic value derived from land, including natural resources and natural opportunities, should belong equally to all residents of a community, but that people own the value that they create themselves. Most Georgists support: - • A broad-based land value taxation scheme, either to mostly or entirely replace existing harmful taxes on income, consumption, and corporations.

• The social redistribution of this revenue either directly, through a Citizens’ Dividend, or indirectly, through government programs, to citizens.
• Some (but not all) forms of market intervention by the state.
• The abolition of tariffs, quotas, patents, and other barriers to trade and commerce. The Georgist paradigm crosses the left-right political divide. This means that there are statist, anarchist, progressive, and conservative Georgists. ### Aim The aim of this magazine is to: - • **Educate** people about the problems we face and what we can do to fix them.
• **Discuss** potential measures, goals, and methods that could make our economies fairer, and the specifics of implementations of remedies to problems.
• **Organise** meaningful political movements with the aim of enacting peaceful change.
