Floyd Marinescu is a Canadian technology entrepreneur and advocate for common-wealth economics. He founded Common Wealth Canada, the organization behind Natural Common Wealth and Economic Rent in Canada (2023) — the national estimate of Canada's land and resource rents — and the 2024 distributional study of a national Canadian land value tax, both of which anchor this wiki's Canada and British Columbia coverage. He earlier founded UBI Works, a campaign making the economic case for basic income in Canada, which frames resource- and land-rent dividends as a funding path — the citizen's dividend tradition in a Canadian setting.
