The Earth Belongs to Everyone
by Alanna Hartzok, co-director of Earth Rights Institute, sets forth the vision and policy foundation for no less than a new form of democracy — “earth rights democracy.” Following an introduction containing glimpses of the author’s fascinating journey through life, this compilation of her articles and essays describes how to establish political-economic systems based on the human right to the planet as a birthright. Her main point is that earth rights democracy is an essential ethical basis necessary to secure other economic human rights and to create a world of peace and plenty for all. She places this core perspective into an integrated local-to-global framework that balances the need for global cooperation with the necessity for building demilitarized, decentralized, and sustainable local-based economies.

In The Earth Belongs to Everyone you will learn how the earth rights ethic can be realized through fundamental yet practical reforms in public finance policy based on integrating two primary trains of thought: the policy of “land rent for the people” as advocated by Thomas Paine, Henry George and other classical and current economic thinkers, and recent movements for “green” polluter-pay type taxes. Successful working examples of the earth rights approach to public finance are found throughout the book.
