Kenneth Jupp The challenge of the twenty-first century is how to establish access to the resources of the earth for the whole population so that the able-bodied can support themselves. The welfare state can then be slimmed down to no more than is necessary to provide for the diseased and disabled. These constitute only a small minority who could then be provided for with more generosity than at present. ISBN 0856832359 Price £ 14.95 |

| THE PEOPLE’S BUDGET | ||
 |
Geoffrey Lee Although the Edwardian period may in retrospect appear to have been a golden age, it was in reality a time of much turbulence in the political and social fields. There were long and often violent strikes in the docks and coalmines as well as in other less vital industries. Poverty was endemic, and it was the fear of the creation of a semi-criminal underclass as much as feelings of benevolence that led during this period to the beginnings of the welfare state.

||
 |
PHILIP J ANDERSON Real estate is sold as a much safer investment than the constantly fluctuating stock market. Share price volatility is compared unfavourably with the steadier and impressive gains made from real estate which is, we are told, ‘as safe as houses’. |

Fred Harrison
Ricardo’s Law judges Tony Blair’s decade in power.
The author marshals the evidence to address four indictments of
how the modern state operates, and how New Labour failed to advance
its agenda. Blair was given a mandate to modernise Britain’s
institutions and include everyone in the prosperity of the nation.
Fred Harrison explains why this prospectus could not be realised,
because tax policies continue to favour the rich and penalise the
poor. ISBN 0 85683 241 3 |

Mark Braund Prices of over £5m for some freehold houses in central London in early 2007, indicates one truth from this book: wealth increasingly shifts to all land owners as a society develops, despite agriculture taking a lesser part in the overall economy. Braund takes a secular approach to ethics but arrives at values that religious people would also concur with. The book contains a mine of useful historical information. Charles Bazlinton, author of 'A Free Lunch' 'This is an impressive, important and readable book' James Robertson, NEW ECONOMICS FOUNDATION '...he is to be congratulated for opening up a debate based on the notion that we must radically rethink our economic system for it to be fair and sustainable' John West, TRIBUNE ...promises to transform the way we think about politics, economics and the value of human life ... will interest people at all points of the political spectrum, engaging liberals ands conservatives alike eMediaWire ISBN 0 85683 226 X Price £ 14.95 |

| Land Value Taxation | ||

'There is a sense in which all taxes are
antagonistic to free enterprise - yet we need taxes... so the question
is, which are the least harmful taxes? In my opinion, the least bad
tax is the property tax on the unimproved value of land, the Henry
George argument of many, many years ago.'
