Georgism, named after Henry George is an economic ideology that holds that everyone owns what they create, but that everything found in nature, most importantly land, belongs equally to all humanity.

With the revenue from this "single tax", the state could avoid having to levy any other type of tax.In 1904, a Quaker woman named Elizabeth J. Magie Phillips invented X through which she hoped to be able to explain the single tax theory.After being rehashed several times over the next decades, Charles Darrow came up with the definitive version of X, called Y, by which we all know it today.What pasttime am I talking about?
