📘 Book Release: Realonomics—How the Economy Really Works, and How We Can Fix It Neoclassical economics, still central to university teaching, assumes away financial instability, unemployment, and the role of banks. Yet events from the 2008 crash onwards show how money creation and financial markets fundamentally shape the macroeconomy. Realonomics challenges these outdated assumptions and presents an evidence-based alternative. Drawing on lessons from Japan’s post-war growth, Germany and America’s long-term strengths, and China’s recent economic rise, the book outlines a pathway to a more stable and inclusive system. Praised by Oxford scholars and authors for its clarity and insight, Realonomics is essential reading for policymakers, economists, students, and anyone seeking a grounded understanding of how the economy truly works.

Challenging Neoclassical Orthodoxy: The Economic Case for Land Taxation Economists largely agree that the ideal state for private enterprise involves reducing taxes on earned income (labour and capital) to zero. The alternative, taxing the unearned income from land, is often overlooked. The goal is transformative: Reforming the structure of public finance through land value taxation can foster full employment without inflation and significantly reduce the overall tax burden. As Milton Friedman stated, it's the "least bad tax." Invest in your understanding of fundamental economic reform.

Location matters, more than you think. The difference between a home in London and one in the North isn’t in the cost of bricks and mortar, but in the land beneath them. In Location Matters: Recycling Britain’s Wealth, Tony Vickers explores how land rights shape prosperity and how Britain’s tax system rewards ownership over enterprise. He makes a compelling case for Land Value Taxation, shifting the burden off work and innovation and onto the unearned gains of landownership. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in public finance, urban policy, and economic fairness. 📘 Location Matters: Recycling Britain’s Wealth By Tony Vickers Get your copy now! https://lnkd.in/dUadVb2z #LandValueTax #PublicPolicy #Sustainability #FairEconomy #EthicalEconomics #Books

In the latest episode of the Shepheard-Walwyn Podcast, Dr. Tony Vickers examines a key flaw in our economy: wealth accumulates from land ownership, not labour. He explores a fairer approach – one that: -Relieves pressure on workers -Ensures those profiting from land contribute more -Promotes affordable housing and rewards productivity over speculation As Dr. Vickers says, “Land is finite. Its value is created by society – so it should benefit society.” 🎧 Hear the full discussion here: https://lnkd.in/gsFv6Hjf #Land #Housing #Podcast
