And I don't agree with the use of land as a key resource. It's certainly one key resource, but it's also a return to a feudalism of sorts.

Exactly: but I advocate a form of feudalism where tribute is given to Society generally, and not an individual with a bigger axe than you have...

Like it or not, most of the value in circulation (more than two thirds in the developed world) is in fact land-based.

I advocate getting rid of the current overlay of financial claims on land, and essentially reinventing the "property" relationship.
