LOCATION MATTERS
RECYCLING BRITAIN’S WEALTH
LOCATION MATTERS Tony Vickers


Land rights confer wealth, but not uniformly. Location matters - building Canary Wharf in a desert without the associated infrastructure would not have made anyone richer.

THE SOCIAL CONSCIENCE
CAN A CARING SOCIETY EXIST IN A MARKET ECONOMY?
IS A MARKET ECONOMY SUSTAINABLE THAT DENIES MAN’S FUNDAMENTAL NATURE?

Michel Glautier

The expanding influence of Western civilisation, through the emergence of a global economy dominated by transnational corporations, is transforming society worldwide and bringing to the fore social and economic issues of deep concern and unprecedented magnitude.

RICARDO’S LAW
House Prices and the Great Tax Clawback Scam

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.

PROGRESS AND POVERTY
Henry George
Edited and Abridged for Modern Readers

Henry George

Today we live in a world that is divided. A world in which we have made great progress and advances in science and technology. But it is also a world where millions of children die because they have no access to medicines. We live in a world where knowledge and information have made enormous strides, yet millions of children are not in school…It is a world of great promise and hope. It is also a world of despair, disease and hunger …

The Possibility of Progress


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
