Two articles by ALTER members appear in the latest issue of the magazine Land & Liberty, which has chronicled the impact of the writings of Henry George for over a century.
One entitled "Owner, worker, giver, thief" by Ian Hopton, a member based in France, was first published by Resurgence (which "promotes [a] vision for a more ecological and equitable world"). Ian ably makes the connection between Land and Power, exercised through tax (dysfunctionally as now, or sustainably and equitably with LVT). He says: "Property in land is probably the most blatant act of theft perpetrated by society on itself".
The other, by chartered town planner Greg McGill and entitled "The Good Life Lost", deals with causes and effects on communities of land speculation in the absence of a means of recycling the unearned wealth accruing to owners, through tax. Significantly Greg, who is a constituent of mine in Newbury, has let his Lib Dem membership lapse because of disappointment over the Party's failure to fully grasp - or firmly tackle in campaigning - what he believes (like us) to be possibly the most powerful idea that it has inherited.
I would recommend that, if you are not already a subsriber to "L&L", you consider taking it. The latest issue is the best for some years. It is produced entirely 'pro bono' by members of the Henry George Foundation (HGF). Contact Land & Liberty for details. Back numbers can be downloaded free. HGF has the only library in UK (in London) dedicated to "The Land Question" - open every Friday at the School of Economic Science (SES), just off Oxford Street (and at other times by appointment). SES is the only place where courses drawing on Henry George's writings can be taken.
