- Description
- "Fairhope Single Tax Corporation invites you to see Fairhope, Built on Sound Economic Principles. Land and site values are created by a community of people. Therefore, it is only just and right that these community-created values should be collected by the community as a site value rent, or tax, for governmental purposes. Since 1894, when followers of Henry George, the great Single Tax Advocate, founded the community of Fairhope with the 'Single Tax Colony', this method of collecting 'Site Value Rent' was proven both possible and profitable to the citizens of Fairhope who are leaseholders of Fairhope Single Tax Corporation land"--From back cover.
