Classical liberals and early Austrian economists regarded unworked land as the property of the people. For Austrians at the extreme end like Rothbard, any tax is illegitimate (Feser, 2000); but, one tax that received support from early classical liberals and libertarians is a tax on land values. 1 The most famous advocate of land value taxation is Henry George, author of Progress and Poverty (George, 1879). George’s ideas do not differ greatly from those of the Austrian school. For George (1879: Chapter 41 ), as for Rothbard, civilizations “advance as they insure liberty to each person, bounded only by the equal liberty of every other person.”
