The Importance of Land and Housing in Ireland's Economy
In this chapter, they discuss the key issue in Ireland at the moment, which is the surplus budget and the lack of housing. They propose taxing derelict sites to discourage land hoarding and increase the use of land, drawing inspiration from Henry George's book Poverty and Progress. They also highlight the impact of skewed land costs on the housing market and emphasize the potential political consequences if the housing issue is not addressed.
