starvation in Niger

Mass starvation is another price we pay for not having land rent. The principle of land rent is that you keep the wealth you create. This provides the incentive to do something, such as turning starving mouths into a productive society.

If land rent was the basis of international law, each piece of land would be owned by whoever could make best use of it. As a result, there would be no deserts (except for aesthetic and biodiversity purposes), nobody would be trapped in a failing system, there would be no unemployment, and certainly no starvation. Or maybe we prefer the present system?
