  Geolibertarian - Libertarian Wiki (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Geolibertarians believe in the libertarian principle of self-ownership, but take it to what they consider its logical conclusion by asserting equal right to land.
Geolibertarians generally advocate distributing the land rent to the community via a Land Value Tax, as proposed by Henry George, and others before him.
Geolibertarians are generally influenced by Georgism, but the ideas behind it predate George, and can be found in the writings of John Locke, Thomas Jefferson, Adam Smith, Thomas Paine, David Ricardo, and John Stuart Mill.

Under geolibertarianism (the belief that all are entitled to a piece of land), land is paid for continuously for as long as you stayed on the land - and the profits would go to the "community," that is, the government.
Geolibertarianism is not incompatible with capitalism, genuine capitalism in which man owns his mind and the things he produced, hence is not incompatible with Objectivism.
Because of this, Objectivism should fully embrace Geolibertarianism as if one were to "checked their premises," one can see that Geolibertarianism is the only system in alignment with man's right to life and his duty to respect other's right to life.

 Geolibertarian FAQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Geolibertarianism is the belief that each individual has an exclusive right to the fruits of his or her labor, and thus an exclusive right to the value of those fruits; and that all individuals have an equal right to land, and thus an equal right to the value of land.
Geolibertarians believe it should be the latter, since that is the only just and practical way of establishing true equality of opportunity without enforcing equality of outcome in the process.
As for state and federal taxation, geolibertarians advocate a bottom-up system whereby a portion of the LVT-revenue generated locally is sent to the applicable state governments, and a portion of that, in turn, to the federal government.

The land monopoly answers these two questions with “no.” Neolibertarian philosophy, which says that man can own land on a "first come first serve" basis, creates a system in which certain exclusive people are given rights to the earth, thus the rights to opportunities, and other people are not.
Geolibertarian philosophy, which at core is the belief that all have an inherent right to a piece of land, on the other hand answers the two introductory questions with "yes."
The price of sitting on this land would not be passed on to the consumer, as the market, not the cost-price of goods, determines land rent.

In a nutshell, geolibertarianism is a variant of libertarianism.
Geolibertarians differ from traditional libertarians in their view of fundamental property rights.
While geolibertarians believe that all individuals are entitled to the fruits of their labor and have the right to engage in voluntary trade, geolibertarians also believe that all individuals have equal rights to land and natural resources.

 Geolibertarianism
Another problem with geolibertarianism is that it fails to recognize that man creates nothing, but only transforms things already present in nature (this is an indisputeable law of thermodynamics, that the net sum of energy and matter is always the same).
According to geolibertarians, Rothbard would say that if (in never-never-land) one person owned all of the world's land, he would have have a just claim in a private court to say that no-one else could eat.
The geolibertarians also ignore the subjective value of land to those holding it, as is evident from Prof.

There is a "school" of libertarian thought, popularly called geolibertarianism, that says that, in a nutshell, the natural resources of the earth, most especially land, should be recognized as having a common ownership to mankind.
Most geolibertarians are cautious with the concept of excise taxes because it is potential double-taxation and also because it is argued that it violates another concept...
The geolibertarian, like any other libertarian is not going to lose sleep at the thought that the wealthy might hide their wealth from tax collectors in offshore accounts or all the myriad complexities in disguising wealth through accounting techniques or behind corporate veils.

 Geolibertarian Tax Policy | Freedom Democrats
The Georgists and geolibertarians, recognizing this for a fact, say that the solution is to charge for the privilege of owning land.
You don't have to be a geolibertarian or a georgist to agree with this, I think it can appeal to people of all political backgrounds.
Geolibertarians paint a warm and fuzzy image of relying on land taxes and while it is an interesting idea that would promote more efficient land use (especially in the US), I would like to point out that the Chinese empire tried this a number of times to little avail.

We Geolibertarians distinguish ourselves from right-wing, "royal" libertarians by our profound respect for the principle that one has private property in the fruits of one's labor.
Geolibertarians also believe in free trade, with no state support for monopoly privileges of any kind.
We therefore oppose money monopolies, information monopolies, a host of lesser monopolies, and most of all, monopoly of the power to govern, as embodied by statist political systems.

However, unlike "royalist" forms of libertarianism, geolibertarianism holds that all land is owned in common by society, and therefore if individuals claim the land as their property they must pay rent (a tax) to the community for doing so.
Thus, geolibertarians recognize a right to private control of land, on the condition that the full rental value be paid to the community.
Thus, the margin of production represents an absolute floor on wage level in any society, under free market circumstances.

 Georgism
Some use the term "Geoism", with the meaning of "Geo" deliberately ambiguous.
"Earth Sharing" and "Geolibertarianism" are also prefered by some Georgists.
These terms reflect a difference of emphasis, and sometimes real differences about how land rent should be spent (citizen's dividend or just replacing other taxes), but all agree that land rent should be fully taxed.

I scored 100/80 on the World's Smallest Political Quiz, so my political philosophy is generally libertarian, and specifically geolibertarian.
The core principles that lie at the heart of my position on every issue are crystallized in the following passage from Henry George's book,
Government should be repressive no further than is necessary to secure liberty by protecting the equal rights of each from aggression on the part of others, and the moment governmental prohibitions extend beyond this line they are in danger of defeating the very ends they are intended to serve." -- Henry George, Social Problems, Ch.

On the other hand, it does call upon a great many notable works, including religious references, so for those who want a more exhaustive approach to some part of the issue this book should provide enough pointers to them.
What then winds up emerging is the best introductory approach to geolibertarianism available today.
In some circles this is a very hotly debated topic, and what is needed to accompany this debate is a book well-written enough to serve as a starting point to constructive conversation.

Both the geolibertarians (Georgists) and the Austrian libertarians start from the same axiom of self-ownership, yet arrive at different conceptions of property.
