So you just add a tax on land ownership and do nothing about wealth concentration - and thus power concentration - and think it will magically work out? Those rich powerful folks are now just going to stop attempting to bend the rules in their favour? Those taxes would be gone within a year and all that's left is a Propertarian neo-feudalism.

You also skipped the answering the main part, a "Great Reset" that surely must be a logical first step to avoid undue advantage jumping over from the flawed past?

I actually did not skip over it. An economic reset under a Geo-Libertarian model would be very different than what you are talking about when you refer to the Authoritarian Socialist "Great Reset" proposed by the authoritarians on the US Political left.

So no as a libertarian, I would not be in favor of an Authoritarian "Great Reset", that is with out getting to unfeasible nature of the Authoritarian "Great Reset" for which you claim my libertarian model would be unworkable, but yet believe an Authoritarian "Great Reset" would be... odd

So the idea is to keep the wealth/power concentration of today and hope that they will comply with a land value tax and stop trying to use their power to bend the rules? I'm sorry but that is even more naive than an old-school authoritarian vanguardist.

This sounded interesting though, care to explain what - and who? - this is referring to?
