It seems to me that Gesell figured out how to make the economy work for everyone, including our Earth mother. Everyone needs to look into this to see if they agree. I've been telling Greens, as co-chair of the Banking and Monetary Reform Committee, the Wörgl model would be a great way to establish thriving local and regional economies. The opposition must be acknowledged of course, and hopefully would not shut it down before being surrounded by happy sufficiently prosperous people, perhaps making them reconsider using their power to take that away. Happy is better than angry even if happy makes you angry.

Hello,

would you expand more on the private ownership of land question? I got the money as means of exchange vs store of value part but the land part, I think, you wrote less about it.

In Gesellian economy, one cannot own land?

Like, I have a house and a piece of land around it where I grow things. Am I not the owner of the land?
