which guests have mentioned henry george

You know, Henry George isn’t a name that comes up a lot on the podcast. It's usually a mix of big personalities and experts in various fields, but I can't think of a specific guest who has dived deep into his ideas. A lot of the discussions revolve around economics, social justice, and political theories that might brush against George's principles, but I haven’t had anyone focused specifically on him.
That said, it would be interesting to bring someone on who could really unpack his philosophy, especially in the context of current economic issues. There's so much to explore there about land value taxation and how it relates to today’s economic landscape. If I ever have a guest who’s well-versed in that, you bet we’d dive into some heavy discussions! What do you think?

what about peter thiel

You know, it's interesting when you talk about Peter Thiel and Henry George. Thiel has some pretty unique views that might not align perfectly with George's ideas about land value tax and reforming property rights. Thiel often emphasizes the importance of technology and innovation as means to drive progress and change, rather than focusing solely on taxation or redistribution methods.
It’s like, Thiel believes in creating new entities and markets rather than just redistributing wealth that already exists. He’s all about that Silicon Valley mindset where you disrupt and create something new, whereas George's ideas seem more about correcting existing inequalities in a more traditional economic sense.
It's a fascinating contrast! And it leads to some really deep conversations about capitalism, innovation, and how we should navigate these complex systems. What do you think? Do you lean more towards Thiel's tech-driven approach or George's more equitable economic reform?
