Overview

Alanna Hartzok is an American author, activist, and co-founder of Earth Rights Institute. She has been a leading voice connecting Georgist land economics with environmental justice, peace, and human rights.

Contributions

Her book The Earth Belongs to Everyone (2008) collects essays arguing that capturing land and resource rent for the common good underpins a just and ecological economy — a foundational text of ecological Georgism. Hartzok has worked on land-value capture and resource-rent sharing at the level of international development and UN forums, and co-founded Earth Rights Institute to advance these ideas globally. She represents the values-driven, internationalist wing of the movement.
