Fred Harrison, a London-based writer on economics (Boom-Bust 2010, Wheels of Fortune, The Corruption of Economics, etc.) has made a 7 minute video which describes the premise of his book of the same title. While he is discussing something universal, it may be easier for the American viewer to understand it when considering the effects in another country.

Among the topics Fred explores are a number of themes on the Wealth and Want website:

poverty's causes • David Ricardo • landed gentry • victims • is democracy enough? • location, location, location • wealth concentration • Duke of Westminster • income taxes wrong • progressivity • pork • paying twice • landlord • landless • paying the wrong party • financing education • pay for what you take • user fees • land appreciates while buildings depreciate • land share of real estate value • urban land share of real estate value • regressivity • wealth from land appreciation • land concentration • unearned increment • windfall • capital gains • privatization • land earning more than labor • boom-bust cycles • paying the wrong party • subsidies • untax wages • Winston Churchill • David  Lloyd-George • in one's sleep • all benefits go to the landowner • landlordism • land monopoly capitalism • pay for what you take • efficiency • canons of taxation • direct taxation • indirect taxation • equality • privilege (private law) • God's eldest sons • founding fathers and first families • I was here first!• created equal • abolishing poverty • land value taxation
