This channel exists to crack open the one idea almost everyone has backwards: land was never a private invention. It’s the foundation every community builds, improves, and depends on. Yet we pretend it’s a commodity that individuals “create” and can hoard without limit. I’m here to flip that script.
Through commentary, analysis, and straight-talk economics, I break down why land value comes from the community, not the titleholder and how recognizing that simple truth unlocks an economy where many things stop being a fantasy, businesses stop fighting gravity, and opportunity stops being gated by birthright.
Tired of the same old economic dogma? Curious why progress feels slow and rigged? You want to see how a land-value-first worldview rewires everything from housing to innovation to climate strategy? This is your corner of the internet.
Here, I challenge the status quo, dismantle lazy narratives, and rebuild the logic of ownership from the ground up — literally.
