A high land value tax is long overdue to flatten this house price cycle. Long-term it might be better to nationalise all UK land and re-issue the land using 99 year leases (change the tax to a rent) Four years of decline is a long wait.

The poor do not need the rich to survive. Its plain to me that the government do understand what fred says but there are billionaires feeding sweeteners into politicians pockets to keep them sweet. At the end of the day as long as the politicians have a good stable life thats all that matters to them. Honestly the lower class people do not matter. We see David Cameron fighting a battle this week but i can assure you if he is ever voted for priminister as soon as he is in then he is taught how to run the country in governments way. Whatever your emotions are before becoming priminister as soon as your elected then your emotions go out of the window. Lets face it if government did not raise taxes on everything then they would not have been able to fund the wars and take over countries like Australia and partly Ireland and the other colonies. We know the war in Iraq is about Oil and nothing else. Fred Harrison is my hero and i wish him in success. The rich cannot get rich without the poor. The poor do not need the rich to survive.

If our politicians and 'parties' had the insight, ethics, brains and and tenacious courage of Fred Harrison we wouldn't be in this systemic mess. We need people like Fred in power and, until then, regularly on our media helping people understand economic history and the roots of the crisis. A six or ten part TV series or a big budget documentary film narrated by Fred is needed to present this important alternative analysis and outline a viable way forward economically, socially and environmentally. This could inform people who, though bewildered by lies and spin are not stupid or uninterested. It would offer a ray of hope, could be shown worldwide and trigger the necessary debate and discussion. Imagine. TV serving democracy! Best wishes, Joe Great interview.
