What happened
Lars Doucet, who works full-time for the Center for Land Economics, has proposed the Land Value Tax (LVT) as a remedy for wealth disparity. Doucet references Henry George’s *Progress and Poverty*, arguing that poverty and wealth disparity are linked to progress because landowners can charge high rent for locational benefits they did not create.

Why it matters
The proposal suggests that high rent charged by landowners for uncreated locational benefits contributes to wealth disparity. Doucet also noted that LVT enablement laws passed in two U.S. states this year, and LVT-friendly national leaders were elected in the UK and South Korea.
