Mr. Furman's analysis of the U.S. economy is mainstream in every sense of that word in terms of how most economists interpret data. What he fails to address are the issues put forward by former World Bank economist Joseph Stiglitz with respect to the damage of public policies that have caused the boom-to-bust cycles. What Professor Stiglitz has identified is the destructive impact of tax policies that reward land speculation over production of goods and delivery of real value-adding services. Ours has become in a fairly short period of time a rentier dominated society.
In effect, our systems of property law and taxation (and that of essentially every society, differing by degree only) achieves a redistribution of wealth from producers into the hands of non-producer rentiers. The only solution to this problem is to change the way government raises its revenue -- lifting the burden of taxation from earned income flows, real capital goods and commerce and moving to rents of land and land-like assets (e.g., the broadcast spectrum, leases for the exploitation of natural resources on public lands and the commons, and even take-off and landing slots at airports). This change in financing of government has been championed by some economists for over a century, since this proposal was put forward by the American political economist Henry George. -
