Adam Smith est un philosophe et économiste écossais ainsi qu'une des principales figures des Lumières écossaises. Il est l'auteur de "La Richesse des Nations", publié en 1776, qui est le premier livre moderne d'économie. Smith y analyse l'origine de la prospérité de certains pays, comme l'Angleterre ou les Pays-Bas. Il développe des théories économiques sur la division du travail, le marché, la monnaie, la nature de la richesse, le prix des marchandises en travail, les salaires, les profits et l'accumulation du capital.

Urban planning is a craft learned through practice. Planners make rapid decisions that have an immediate impact on the ground - the width of streets, the minimum size of land parcels, the heights of buildings. The language they use to describe their objectives is qualitative - “sustainable,” “livable,” “resilient” - often with no link to measurable outcomes. Urban economics, on the other hand, is a quantitative science, based on theories, models, and empirical evidence largely developed in academic settings.

Capitalism has blessed the world with wealth and technological miracles. It has also cursed it with urban slums, powerless workers, and the vicious boom-and-bust economy. If only there were some way to fix the problems of capitalism and keep all its benefits. In 1897, Henry George published his solution to this puzzle, Progress and Poverty. He suggested that, unlike all other taxes, a tax on land doesn't discourage entrepreneurship. A single tax on land can raise the revenues we need to help the poor without destroying the incentive to create wealth.

Fifteen years later, despite breakthroughs in batteries, electric vehicles, plant-based proteins, and solar and wind power, global warming continues to get worse. Its impact is all around us: droughts, floods, wildfires, the melting of the polar ice caps.
