I was always intrigued by Georgism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism) but idk if it would really work in 21st century.

Georgism is a very interesting idea -- however, in its purest form, what is the incentive to invest in land? E.g. to build tall buildings, factories, invest in better farming practices/technology, etc.

Would it not be better to have full property rights, except with externalities captured?
