BRIEF HISTORY of Georgism in Norway |
"Georgism
came to Norway in the late 1880s, largely due to the efforts of
Viggo Ullman. As a public movement it was weaker in Norway than in
Denmark, and has few if any political successes to show for itself.
Mainstream economists were unimpressed by Georgist claims. But the
important political debates about the so-called concession Laws
(1906-1920), touched on themese where Georgists had much to say. The
Concession laws laid down the terms on which foreign and Norwegian
corporations might acquire property rights to natural resources,
especially waterfalls and mineral deposits, which were vital to
electricity generation and to heavy industry. (According to those
laws, waterfall rights were leased to users for 100 years at
significant fees, payable to the local authority, after which rights
revert to the State.)" -- [Sigmund Knag, July, 2006] |
