Land stocks vs direct land ownership discussed by Babson
Hanson Park Massachusetts May 28. Babson argues land stocks are safer than owning land. He says government can print money and corporations can print stock, but only God can create more land. Taxes and title upkeep deter personal ownership, while land stock offers easier liquidity and management. He ties this to population growth and the coming business boom of the 1960s despite rising marriageable age and stable birth/death rates.
