Presenting a radical revision of modern economic theory, this analysis adjusts the entire range of economic thought in relation to the fundamental part played by land, the significance of creditâÂÂespecially in the banking systemâÂÂand the crucial impact of the taxation method. The resulting system based upon natural law, economic security for all, fair distribution of output, and the opportunity for self-fulfillment through work draws upon the masters of economic thoughtâÂÂfrom Smith and Ricardo to Marshall, Schumpter, and KeynesâÂÂbut also provides new insights by highlighting concepts often omitted from current studies of their works.
Reviews
"Brian Hodgkinson deftly pulls together many strands of alternative thought and presents them in a format which no economist can easily dismiss. This is a remarkable book." --guardian.co.uk
