In this podcast, the first in a short series celebrating the release of the ebook of Rent Unmasked: How to save the global economy and to build a sustainable future - essays in honor of the late great Mason Gaffney, we interview Francis K. Peddle, a leading tax lawyer and philosophy professor. Rent Unmasked explores Mason Gaffney's economic philosophy and Peddle discusses Gaffney's influence on economics, the ideas of Henry George, his work with the Robert Schalkenbach Foundation, and how he helped apply Gaffney and George’s ideas in setting up the BC Assessment Authority. He emphasizes Gaffney's philosophy of reconciliation, which aims to avoid trade-offs between efficiency and fairness. Peddle critiques mainstream economic views, advocating for a land value tax to address issues like tariffs, farming, and inheritance taxes. He highlights the transparency and fairness of such a system compared to current taxation methods.
