Georgism, named after Henry George (1839-1897), is a philosophy and economic ideology that holds that everyone owns what they create, but that everything found in nature, most importantly land, belongs equally to all of humanity. Henry George is best known for his argument that the economic rent from land should be shared equally by society rather than falling into hands of private individuals. Most early advocacy groups described themselves as Single Taxers, and George endorsed this as being an accurate description of the movement's main political goal – the replacement of all taxes with a land value tax.
