Henry George described his proposal to tax land rent as tantamount to abolition of the private ownership of land. However, Pullen's suggestion that it might better be described as "conditional, modified, or restricted ownership" falls foul of the fact that all ownership is conditional, modified, or restricted in some sense. Whereas, for George, the private ownership of labor products may be positivelyjustified on grounds of equity, and is subject only to conditions that apply to ownership in general, the private ownership of land may be permitted, but only on grounds of social utility, and only if a radical condition (social appropriation of most of its rent) is met that satisfies the demands of equity
