Founder of EarthSharing Australia, Bryan
Kavanagh, describes the purposes of this website as follows: "The
principles of EarthSharing encapsulate a profound message. Land prices
and taxes on wealth-creation both destroy employment and create economic
instability. Both can be reduced by drawing more reveues from a levy
upon land values. Under such a reformed revenue system we would
eliminate 'boom and bust', and finally reconcile 'economics' to people
and the plant." Email: information@earthsharing.org.au. Contact:
