This wiki is a work in progress
The features you clicked — Cite, Edit, and History — are coming soon. Here's what this encyclopedia is, why it exists, and what to expect.
What this wiki is
The Progress.org wiki is a free, openly licensed encyclopedia of land economics — the concepts, the people, the studies, the places it's been tried, and the strongest arguments for and against. Every claim links to its source.
It covers Georgism, land value tax, economic rent, sovereign wealth, and the broader tradition of thinking about how land, nature, and monopoly shape our economies and cities. The goal is a single, citable, cross-referenced reference that anyone can read, quote, and build on.
How entries are written
Entries are currently drafted by a large language model and fact-checked against their cited sources by the Progress.org editorial team. Human editorial review of every entry is coming soon.
All content is published under CC BY 4.0 — you can share and adapt it freely, provided you credit Progress.org.
Features coming soon
The buttons that brought you here are placeholders for features in development:
- Cite — structured citation export in APA, MLA, Chicago, and BibTeX, with a stable permalink and version date.
- Edit — a community editing workflow, letting readers propose corrections, additions, or new citations that the editorial team can review.
- History — a revision log showing how each entry has changed over time, with diffs and contributor attribution.
In the meantime, if you spot an error or want to suggest a correction, email [email protected].
Why we built it
The case for land value tax and Georgist reform is well-evidenced — but the evidence is scattered across a century of academic papers, policy reports, and primary texts. Most people who encounter it get the fragments without the whole.
This wiki is an attempt to fix that: one place where the full argument lives, cross-referenced and citable, built to last. When someone asks "but doesn't LVT hurt the asset-rich, cash-poor?" or "where has this actually been tried?" — there should be a single authoritative answer they (and you) can link to.
It's an early edition. It will grow.
