Other Causes

In this page, we would like to further causes that we care about that have nothing to do with teaching Astronomy.

Primarily, this page will focus on the topics of Land Value Taxation (or LVT for short), the science of Political Economy and the ideas that found expression through the French Physiocrats in the 18th century, Henry George in the 19th, Alfred Marshal and a few others in the 20th .
