Why “geolibertarianism” is a great word
A political philosophy synthesizing libertarianism and Georgism, which holds that land and natural resources are common assets and that individuals claiming them as private property must pay rent to the community. From geo- (from Greek gē, 'earth, land') + libertarianism. Unlike Georgism, which centers on the single tax as an economic panacea, or anarcho-capitalism, which advocates for the total privatization of the earth itself, geolibertarianism insists on a fundamental, rent-yielding commons beneath a superstructure of otherwise untrammeled individual liberty. It is the fence around a private garden understood as a leasehold from humanity; the orchard's fruit belonging to the planter, while the unimproved fertility of the soil carries a debt to the commons; the weight of a mineral specimen held in a gloved hand, enjoyed freely yet tethered by an invisible fiscal thread to every other claimant. This is the delicate covenant between sovereign individual and collective earth.
