TAP TALK with Alanna Hartzok: "The Truth about Land, Money, and Power"

Alanna Hartzok is the Administrative Director and a United Nations NGO Representative for the International Union for Land Value Taxation. In this role, she supports land value tax implementation projects across five continents.

Hartzok initiated tax reform legislation in Pennsylvania that passed with near-unanimous support. The reform enabled nearly 1,000 municipalities to shift their tax base from buildings to land value.

Her work has been cited by the Association of Bay Area Governments, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Review, and Dialogues (Canada West Foundation). She is also referenced in books such as The Natural Wealth of Nations and Creating a Sustainable World, and was featured in Planet Champions: Adventures in Saving the World.

Alanna is the author of The Earth Belongs to Everyone, which received the Radical Middle Book Award. In 2011, she was honored with the International Earth Day Award by the Earth Society Foundation. Her E.F. Schumacher Lecture, Democracy, Earth Rights, and the Next Economy, explores innovative approaches to economic justice and sustainability.
