Equal access to land is what the laissez faire economists like Adam Smith expected to result from their recommendation to eliminate all taxes except on land ownership. The aristocrats asked how they could control markets if there were only one tax, to which the economists replied, "l 'aissez faire". That is where the expression came from. We never hear about their proposal because of who controls the flow of information. But, capitalism has become feudalism, where owning lots of vacant land is profitable while working and doing business gets taxed as highly as possible.
