Wakefield on land sales and emigration policy in Australia
In this 19th century treatise fragment, Wakefield argues for uniform upset or fixed land prices across colonies, tied to immigration. He defends loans secured by future land sales to fund emigration, urges government peopling of waste land, and calls for stable, centralized controls to avoid contradictory practices. He contends that land and capital migration must be planned to maximize colonization success.
