Hey,

I'm starting a project, and in that regard, I need to know if any of you
know the names of well-known geo-libertarians or georgists today, as I
need to contact these people. Unfortunately, Albert Jay Nock is dead,
and so is Henry George... :p

Web references would be handy.

Thanks in advance.


Dan Sullivan is the articulate originator of "Geolibertarian"

William F. Buckley, Jr. is perhaps the most well known Georgist today.

From a C-Span book interview, 2 April 2000:

CALLER: I've heard you describe yourself as a Georgist, a follower of
Henry George, but I haven't heard much in having you promote land value
taxation and his theories, and I'm wondering why that is the case.

WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY: It's mostly because I'm beaten down by my right-wing
theorists and intellectual friends. They always find something wrong
with the Single-Tax idea. What I'm talking about Mr. Lamb is Henry
George who said there is infinite capacity to increase capital and to
increase labor, but none to increase land, and since wealth is a
function of how they play against each other, land should be thought of
as common property. The effect of this would be that if you have a
parking lot and the Empire State Building next to it, the tax on the
parking lot should be the same as the tax on the Empire State Building,
because you shouldn't encourage land speculation.

Thank you!
