Originally inspired by the work of American economics journalist Henry George, Geonomics is a philosophy and economic theory that follows from the belief that although everyone owns what they create; land, and everything else supplied by nature, belongs equally to all humanity. Geonomists advocate a Single Tax, a Land Value Tax, also known as a Resource Rent.
