Rent Unmasked

Kerrigan — Mon, 06 Jun 2016 21:53:55 +0000

Rent Unmasked explores the new economic paradigm that policy-makers need to solve global problems in the post-2008 era. With conventional economic theories discredited, the new model must equip governments with tools to re-stabilise societies in a dangerous world. Rent Unmasked explains why one paradigm only qualifies to serve this purpose: the dynamic model that reinstates time and space in economic theorising.

How our Economy Really Works – A Radical Reappraisal

Kerrigan — Sun, 05 Jun 2016 08:32:30 +0000

- Why are so many trapped in poverty, when others are grossly well-off?
- Why are house prices continuously rising faster than inflation?
- Why do people so often find themselves in jobs that give them little sense of fulfilment?
- Why is a multi-national coffee shop franchise not actually making its money from coffee?
These questions have confronted the UK economy for decades without resolution by governments of the right or left. It is the failure of economics, the author argues.

The State of Freedom and Justice

Kerrigan — Sun, 17 Apr 2016 19:25:32 +0000

We all want freedom, we all want justice, yet few have given much thought to how such a state could be organised. The author, an original thinker, has taken a multi-disciplinary approach in seeking an answer, reading widely over 35 years in the realms of Politics and Economics, Sociology and Philosophy, History and Law.

The Power in the Land

Kerrigan — Sat, 23 Jan 2016 14:25:00 +0000

The Power in the Land
by Fred Harrison

George Monbiot began an article in the Guardian ‘You can learn as much about a country from its silences as you can from its obsessions. The issues politicians do not discuss are as telling and decisive as those they do ... the loudest silence surrounds the issue of property taxes ...

No Debt, High Growth, Low Tax

Kerrigan — Mon, 27 Jul 2015 21:15:31 +0000

Governments around the world are wrestling with the problems of enormous debts, low growth, high unemployment and a gap between the demands of public expenditure and what can be raised through taxation. This problem has been acute since the financial crisis, but has been a hallmark of western economies for decades.

Our Land, Our Rent, Our Jobs

Kerrigan — Tue, 19 May 2015 21:34:47 +0000

The authors set out a proposal to unleash their country’s potential for growth in a way that benefits investors and the poorest by reforming taxation – a blueprint for other developing countries. The rapid development of Taiwan and South Korea in the 1950s and 1960s owed much to a similar, business-friendly tax reform.

From Here to Prosperity

Kerrigan — Mon, 18 May 2015 20:15:00 +0000

Economic inequality has reached historic highs worldwide. Almost half the world’s wealth is now owned by just 1% of the population. Disparities in the distribution of wealth have grown far more extreme than disparities in income – and the gap continues to widen. This is the result of a broken ‘system’ and no amount of business-as-usual will solve it, the author argues.

The Traumatised Society

Kerrigan — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 20:00:35 +0000

The author was the first to forecast (in 1997) the events that ruptured the global economy in 2008 by applying an analysis that exposes the fault lines in the structure of the market economy. Having correctly forecast the timing of the global crisis, the author now extends that same analysis to the future of the West...

The Fair Tax

Kerrigan — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 19:19:37 +0000

The Fair Tax explains how a second massive transfer of wealth from the 99% to the 1% can happen again due to the ignorance of politicians, the hubris of the Department of Finance, and the continuing backroom influence of the developers and bankers. The authors clearly explain the real advantages of a Site Value Tax over a conventional property tax and convincingly show how easy it is to assess and implement.
