LandCafe : The Value Capture/Land Tax Idea Factory

Activity within 7 days:

Description

Welcome to the Land Cafe's Idea Factory -- an Open Society forum created to serve people and groups around the world who are interested to find ways for our societies to come to grips with the troubling but important issues of value capture and land tax reform in an age in which important public services remain substantially under-funded. The Cafe offers a free, public, flexible repository for documents (see Files just to your left) and key links to other programs and sites (see Links), and creative discussion space for people and groups who feel that we need to do a lot better in these two important areas of society.

* Best way to access this forum and its tools is through the Land Cafe home page at http://www.landcafe.org.

* Welcoming Note: First-time visitors are warmly invited to read the Welcoming Note.

* We have created a Facebook group for the caf� at http://tinyurl.com/landcafe-facebook -- with the idea that it can aid our exchanges and put a human face to the communications (not always quite sufficiently appreciated).

The Cafe is a public service of The Commons. We welcome diversity of background, culture and views -- and stay open 24 hours a day for people who wish freely to exchange ideas and information about it in a plain-speaking but ever civil way. Like any good cafe, it is important that we be good listeners as well as interesting talkers. (The Cafe is moderated to ensure that we stick to topic and behave civilly.)

Re: Special Economic Zones Ah, you beat me to it, Kj. This experiment has been tried before during the 1980s in the UK. We know the outcome and it was bad: an abysmal failure in fact. As Posted - Fri May 24, 2013 3:09 am	derekrss Send Email
