Amongst the public and social money matters, this includes a nations’ methods for taxation. This does not…See More

The Most Ethical Thing

The general expression of the most ethical kind of our behavour is surely expressed by the so called "Golden Rule" (taken from the Biblical Liviticus) about loving our neighbour as much as ourselves. However this subject has certain features which are difficult to accept in practice.Unless we are saints we find it very difficult if not impossible to share all our wealth with our neighbours so that everybody has a roughly equal share. Indeed attempts in the past to do this have resulted in the…See More

As a life-long member of the Georgists, I am concerned with the degree of poverty that exists, even within wealthy nations, and I see the way to eliminate this according to Henry George's ethical teachings. (Also see http://www.progress.org and its various links.)
