As a Georgist I'm naturally very sympathetic to anything in this vein, but as you say: dense!

What do you believe are the most important contributions here over standard Georgism or Ricardo's theory of rents?

the paper abstract is generated by ai: https://www.pangram.com/history/c480c94f-2d19-4cc3-95e0-c4fa...

It may well be, but also Pangram is ridiculously transparent pseudoscience. Let's not play pretend that it's authoritative, please.

Edit: Just for fun I just defeated it with AI-generated text that it reported as 100% human-written. Great stuff. Truly genius scam.

I think the answer to the last question is obvious. That we are standing on the shoulders or something completely new.

UBI is not a solution because it will drive up land rents and be eaten by landowners.
