Nicolaus Tideman is probably one of the most famous Georgist economists in the world. He earned his PhD in economics at the University of Chicago, had various positions at universities and was a Senior Staff Economist for the Council of Economic Advisors. Since 1973 he has been at Virginia Tech. He published not only about economic topics but also about public decision-making.

He has been the author of many scientific publications, but he also wants to make the world a better place with Geoism.

His essay The Needed Moral Revolution is in the book Rent Unmasked: https://shepheardwalwyn.com/product/rent-unmasked/

In this episode, Mr Tideman explains his view on liberty. People should have the option to form communities with whom they prefer to cooperate. There should be much more diversity in regulatory and tax regimes. Geoism can enable us to achieve this. This can enhance our liberty and eventually result in a more peaceful world.


The book he recommends is The Mason Gaffney Reader:
