Sung-Chan Cho: History and current focus of land value tax in S. Korea. A presentation at the TheIU.org 2013 Conference 'Economics for Conscious Evolution', London, UK, July 2013.
The document summarizes an OECD report which finds that global economic growth remains weak due to low trade, investment, and commodity prices. While monetary policy has been accommodative, fiscal policy in major economies has been contractionary and the pace of structural reforms is insufficient. Collective fiscal action and faster structural reforms are needed to boost global demand and reduce financial stability risks from emerging markets' high debt loads and volatile capital flows.
This document discusses the relationship between socialists and the concept of land value taxation (LVT). It argues that while some Georgists have criticized socialism, socialists' goals of full employment, common ownership of land wealth, and a fairer society are well-aligned with LVT. The document notes that Henry George worked with trade unionists and that socialists like Marx supported the idea of abolishing private property in land. It concludes by asking whether Georgists want socialists and allies to advocate for LVT, as their objectives could be advanced through this policy.

This document discusses the causes and cures of inequality. It argues that inequality arises from the private ownership of natural resources and location value created by the community. It proposes that collecting the annual location value of land through land value taxation would reduce rents, free up land for use, remove the downward pressure on wages, and ensure future generations can afford housing. This reform would address issues with interest, rent, taxation and money supply that stem from the accumulation of wealth generated by others' work.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

2) Establishment and changes of Henry George Association
□ Some people who was influenced from Reuben Archer Torrey III
(the Anglican church’s father) established Henry George
Association of S. Korea (HGAK) in 1984.
□ HGAK changed its name into Association for Biblical Land Justice
(ABLJ) in 1996.
O That was because (almost) all the people who joined HGAK were
Christian, and they wanted to emphasize the Biblical basis of
HGAK. Forthemore, Reuben Archer Torrey III had emphasized the
importance of Biblical Land Justice and the role of Holy Spirit in
social reformation.
6. - 6 -
O Now, Korean Georgist movement has two pillars: one is H.
George’s economic theory and other one is the principle of Jubilee
and land justice in the Bible.
□ ABLJ changed again its name into Jubilee & Land Justice
Association (JLJA) in 2010.
O Before the change of name, Jubilee Land Justice Action
Movement (JLJAM, 2007.5.14) stemmed from ABLJ. That was to
spread out the principle of Jubilee and biblical land justice to the
Korean churches.
O Jubilee & Land Justice Association (JLJA) is the combination of
ABLJ and JLJAM.

O After the marriage with Jane, Torrey sought to find a solution for
poverty in Marxism, but he found that Marxism was not a sound
solution. Jane, his wife, met a political woman in the Fairhope (or
the village of Arden). This woman introduced to her H. George’s
book, Progress and Poverty, and then Jane introduced it to Torrey.
After reading the book, Torrey became a Georgist and seized every
opportunity he could get it into the church, university or Jesus
Abbey.

Abbey, and visitors understood the relationship between land
justice and the Bible.

O Denmark, Sweden, Finland
(3) Cooperatives welfare state
O German, France, Italy

O Nederland, Spain
49. - 49 -
3) Some questions to you
(1) Please recommend good sample countries which corresponds to
H. George’s theory
(2) Which online website services overall countries’ real estate tax
information? Or can you inform your countries’ official website
where we can confirm your countries’ real estate tax?
(3) How can real estate’s tax be classified based on which principle?
50. - 50 -
(4) After the sub-prime mortgage incident in 2008, people are more
concerned about the crisis of capitalism. In this situation, Nordic
countries’ welfare state model such as Sweden, is increasingly
receiving attention. In Nordic countries’ tax system, however, tax on
property is significantly low but tax on individual and company income
is even higher. How can we interpret this kind of tax system in the
point of H. George?
- Thanks! -
