Wheels of Fortune

Discover the transformative potential of large-scale infrastructure projects in Wheels of Fortune by Fred Harrison. Published in 2006 by the Institute of Economic Affairs, this insightful book spans 144 pages and delves into the economic implications of infrastructure funding.

Harrison presents a compelling case that major projects not only enhance public services but also significantly boost the value of nearby lands. He argues that by capturing and utilizing these increases in land values, communities can create a more equitable and efficient funding mechanism for future development.

This thought-provoking read is essential for anyone interested in business and economics, particularly in areas related to land value taxation and public works. Whether you're an economist, policymaker, or simply curious, Wheels of Fortune offers valuable perspectives on innovative financing solutions that can benefit the United Kingdom and beyond.
