Evolution not revolution! I hope to write about Land Value Tax in the future, but I feel that it is important not to try to change too many things at once, as political will is a very scarce resource.

Out of UBI and LVT, it is difficult to say which would be easier to implement first (no doubt both will be an uphill struggle), but the movement for UBI is currently gathering more steam than the movement for LVT right now. I suspect that trying to implement both at the same time would be doomed to failure, as it would have too much complexity to keep all parties focused on pushing through the required reforms. As the phrase goes: “don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good”.

I have been very keen here to keep things as straight-forward as possible, to demonstrate feasibility and desirability to a wide audience. I personally think that a Land Value Tax would be an excellent (and natural) next step, if we managed to achieve a UBI, but focusing on it too heavily risks just adding another non-mainstream concept for people to have to familiarise themselves with.
