Earthsharing Australia is a Georgist organisation that provides free education services on economics. Our teachings demonstrate the urgent need for the capture of resource rents for public benefit. With the capturing of this natural wealth we can reduce wealth gap pressures and curtail the motivation to exploit our resources.

We are a sister organisation to Prosper Australia. Earthsharing Australia represents the beliefs of our members more interested in green issues. However, we still maintain that we are a group from the radical centre,with resource rents providing the funding to cull taxes on productive work.

Many of our supporters are young people concerned about the looming twin disasters - the increasing wealth gap and the speed of climate change.

The Earthsharing website was one of the earliest georgist websites online, set up in 1996 by Bryan Kavanagh of the Land Values Research Group
