Concentration of land ownership
Concentration of land ownership refers to the ownership of land in a particular area by a small number of people or organizations. It is sometimes defined as additional concentration beyond that which produces optimally efficient land use. Land concentration exists in many countries. In Brazil, one of the countries with the highest amount of land concentration, the situation has resulted in large tracts lying idle while 95% of farmers work just 11% of the arable land.

Labor theory of property
The labor theory of property (also called the labor theory of appropriation, labor theory of ownership, labor theory of entitlement, or principle of first appropriation) is a theory of natural law that holds that property originally comes about by the exertion of labor upon natural resources. The theory has been used to justify the homestead principle, which holds that one may gain whole permanent ownership of an unowned natural resource by performing an act of original appropriation.
Taxe foncière
La taxe foncière est un impôt local dû tous les ans par le propriétaire ou l'usufruitier d'un bien immobilier. Selon une étude commandée par la Fédération des promoteurs immobiliers (FPI) en 2014, la France a, en Europe, « la fiscalité la plus élevée en matière d'impôts locaux liés au logement : taxe foncière et taxe d'habitation ». Selon une étude de Coe-Rexecode, comparant la fiscalité de 5 pays européens, en 2012, le taux français d'impôts fonciers et immobiliers est le plus élevé avec 2,6 % du PIB devant le Royaume uni 1,6 %, l'Italie 1,4 %, l'Espagne 1,1 % et l'Allemagne 0,4 %.
Tax shift
Tax shift or Tax swap is a change in taxation that eliminates or reduces one or several taxes and establishes or increases others while keeping the overall revenue the same. The term can refer to desired shifts, such as towards Pigovian taxes (typically sin taxes and ecotaxes) as well as (perceived or real) undesired shifts, such as a shift from multi-state corporations to small businesses and families.

Excess burden of taxation
In economics, the excess burden of taxation, also known as the deadweight cost or deadweight loss of taxation, is one of the economic losses that society suffers as the result of taxes or subsidies. Economic theory posits that distortions change the amount and type of economic behavior from that which would occur in a free market without the tax. Excess burdens can be measured using the average cost of funds or the marginal cost of funds (MCF). Excess burdens were first discussed by Adam Smith.
