Lack of Source for Meji Restoration

No source was given for the claim that there was a land value tax implemented during the Meji restoration. Specifics are even given which makes it even more problematic. Maybe it is from another source in the article, but it must be made explicitly. What should be done?--MrMineHeads (talk) 22:52, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a link to an academic paper on the topic.

I searched for "meiji restoration property taxes" and it was the first link returned. So there may be better articles. -- Derek Ross | Talk 20:50, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Needs a deeper explanation

Quite agree.

This is the strong argument in favour. Privatizing this publicly created value is evidently out of order. There are documented arguments stressing this. Guy Standing is one good source.

For the size of this common value I find this very instructive:
