Philosophy

Jean Baudrillard (1929–2007) was a French sociologist, philosopher, and cultural theorist known for his influential ideas on media, contemporary culture, and communication. He is most famous for developing the concepts of hyperreality and simulacrum, which describe how in modern society, reality is replaced or obscured by symbols and signs, creating a simulated version of reality that people experience as more real than the real itself.

Georgism is a philosophy and policy approach that proposes funding public needs through a tax on land value, reflecting the idea that land and natural resources are a shared inheritance. This approach seeks to reduce inequality, promote efficient land use, and replace less fair taxes.
