     @nixCraft currently reading through Progress and Poverty by Henry George. Idk about changed my life but it has valuable insight and is surprisingly relevant to modern society IMO.

     Basically #Georgism advocates for an #LVT or a tax on the unimproved value of land to discourage people from holding onto valuable land (e.g. in the city center) without using it to do anything of value.

     Obviously this is a complicated topic and there is no one solution. Much more I am not qualified to explain here.

     @nixCraft I'd definitely go for "86 - Eighty Six".

     It literally changed my life (for better of course 😂).

     @nixCraft Small is Beautiful: Economics as if People Matter, by E. F. Schumacher, in which he informs us that we cannot pretend that foul is fair and fair is foul any longer. If he were around today, he'd decry (and I'd agree) that AI and 5G are inappropriate technologies because of their over-consumption of resources for dubious (in terms of augmenting the individual and collective experiences of being human) outcomes.
