An excellent survey of geoist thought in libertarian history and an inquiry into the reasons for propertarian libertarianism having become the dominant strand.

A straight-to-the-point explanation of the ethical theory behind land rent in geoism.
The injustice of private property in land - Henry George (Progress and Poverty)
A short and poignant chapter from P+P defending the geoist understanding of common property in land.
Land & Liberty: On the Natural Monopoly of Violence - Martin Jacobson
