Ability of landowners to pass the land-value-tax on to those who rent the land or who buy the fruits of the land edit
Has Henry George (or Stieglitz) made any suggestions how the government can avoid the phenomenon that landowners can simply increase the rent tenants pay if the taxburden on the land increases? Would an ex-post-tax on land be a solution to this? --Koma Kulshan (talk) 16:38, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
- George suggested (though I do not have reference) that the fact that supply of land is perfectly inelastic will generally prevent this from happening. I do not feel competent to comment myself. 94.156.237.151 (talk) 10:37, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
- He not only suggested as much, he wrote a whole essay addressing the issue: http://www.wealthandwant.com/HG/why_the_landowner_cannot_shift.html Billiam1185 (talk) 23:05, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
Where is the theorem? edit
There should be a description of what the "special conditions" of the theorem are. This is way too vague. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.72.35.197 (talk) 00:38, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
