Yeah land value taxation. Even if land is cooperatively managed, it is still useful to charge for the usage of land to ensure efficient usage and prevent mismanagement

    Does Amazon manage warehouses, and if so, does it charge the warehouse to ensure efficient usage and to prevent mismanagement?

    Despite the differences that Amazon is private and hierarchical, should a different approach, respecting the question, be preferred for a system that is public and lateral?

    Is land tax a practice that was unknown before the emergence of Georgism, or that is supported exclusively by Georgists?

    I meant to ensure socially efficient usage. Not usage that is efficient from the perspective of a private actor. These are not the same thing in many cases, but in particular, it is the case with land due to inelastic supply

    Land value tax is associated with Georgism. I don't see what the point would be of denying that or trying to avoid association with Georgism
