'The editors, with supporting authors, have investigated the operation and practice of various property taxation systems in widely different countries around the world but all based on the underlying theme of land values. This is a timely book, with a wealth of informative and supportive detail, on an important taxation subject which well deserves attention from a potentially widely interested readership.' Owen Connellan, Kingston University, UK 'This text provides country-wide analyses of how land value taxation can achieve a publicly-acceptable and effective system of raising local authority revenue based on the experiences of seven jurisdictions. It is an authoritative and important text from highly-respected experts in the field, and should be essential reading for anyone involved in the debate on the theory, policy, and practice of land value taxation and its broader impacts.'
