Andreau,
Guillermo

  • 2024 - Participated in online meeting of the Executive of the International Union for Land Value Taxation; what follows are comments made in Spanish:

    contrariamente al derecho divino, El Derecho Romano permite la apropiacion de la renta publica a los cazadores de rentas. Jesus increpa a los rabinos y fariseos que sentados en la catedra de Moises permitieron la apropiacion de la Renta publica tratndolos de hipocrits por este hecho.

    El latifundio hizo perecer a Roma como hoy hace perecer a Occidente EEUU se monopoiza la tierra en manos de Bill Gates, Black Rock y otros y los chinos son los segundos terratenientes en USA

    David Ricardo dijo en 1815 en paises como argentina debemos crear una oligarquia parasita, cazadora de rentas publicas para desindustrializar la argentna asi lograremos materias primas y mano de obra de calidad que canjearemos por nuestras manufacturas logrando el maximo beneficio las reformas fiscales logradas en las universidaddes del este de los EEUU deninciada por Fred Harrison lograron el PROGRESO de Donald Trumph y MISERIA su vice JD Vance graficada por la desindustrializacion de EEUU en la pelicula HILLBILLY sobre Vance.

    LA ´PROPIEDAD PRIVADA SECUNDARIA del Papa Francisco trata del destino de la renta de la Tierra, pero no lo conocen ni lo tratan... porque la IGELESIA CRISTIANA muto a su opuesto la ROMANA por hereje Tomas de Aquino por inquisicion despues del siglo XI. Esta es el sisma que esta sufriendo la iglesia Catolica hoy con

    Solo el sistema fiscal biblico de rentas a la tierra termina con la desigualdad, la violencia y la guerra civil en pleno desarrollo en todo OCCIDENTE. Logrando que venga a nosostros tu reino y que se haga su voluntad aqui en la tierra como en el cielo

    Petro juega con las cartas del diablo EL DERECHO ROMANO impuesto por Andres Bello para sostener las reformas fiscale Borbonicas, en flagrante oposicion al derecho Cristiano de los Austrias Habsburgos segun la escolastica Salmantina Cristiana que hicieron de muchas culturas ameericanas una sola civilizacion Hispanica y Cristiana.

    Milei y Petro son la barbarie letrada, las dos alas del mismo pajaro PROGRESO Y MISERIA fruto del Derecho Barbaro de los Romanos que reina en la mente y el corazon de la elite parasita intelectual para sostener el antiguo regimen tributario y esclavista romano. Solo el derecho verdadero nos haralibres.

He calls attention to the disposition of the Academy to ignore the principles of George and Spencer.

Kambo,
Luigi
...
  • 1927 - Book, The Distribution of the Land, published
  • 1936 - Article, "Argentina," Land & Liberty, February, p.28:
    "From the offices of Bribuna Georgista (Defensa 553, Buenos Aires), the journal of the Argentine Henry George Federation, comes a new edition of the classic work Rivadavia y las Legislation de las Tierras Publicas (Riovadavia and his Land Laws) by Andres Lamas.
    ... This work was first published in 1882. It contains an historical account of the circumstances leading up to and the passage of Bernardino Rivadavia's land legislation in 1826. The object of his reform was to give security of possession to the user of the land while at the same time securing for the community its rent. This measure was in advance of the time and its benefits were not understood by the masses. Within a short time it was swept away by the tyrant Rosas who distributed the public lands to his soldiers as Roman conquerors had done of old.
    ... The second part of the book contains an exposition of the economic principles involved. Lamas does not refer to Henry George, and it may be inferred that he was not acquainted with his writings. His knowledge of English writers appears to have been obtained from French or Spanish translations of their works. He points out that Ricardo did not draw the proper deduction from his law of rent, and that Malthus failed to observe that it was the increase of rent, not the increase of population, which impoverished the majority of the people.
    ... If Lamas did not know of George's teaching, this is a remarkable example of the simultaneous discovery of basic principles.
    ... The volume contains an introduction, reprinted from the edition of 1914, by the distinguished Uruguayan statesman Dr. Manuel Herrera y Reissig. It contains 112 closely printed pages and is sold at the extremely low price of 20 centavos. It would therefore be unfair to criticize the paper or the type, but we may hope that some day it may be possible to reprint this great book in a still better form and with an index. it is a book which out to be in the hands of every person who knows the Spanish language.
