Political theorist Martin Jacobson joins NSP to discuss reconciling anarchism and geoism. We talk about land value, non-statist redistribution methods, markets, effective altruism, animal ethics, and more.

Martin Jacobson is a political theorist from Uppsala, Sweden, working in the intersection of politics, philosophy, and economics. His 2024 Ph.D. thesis, on the relationship between geoism and anarchism, was awarded the Swedish Political Science Association’s Prize for best Ph.D. thesis 2022-24. Martin was previously a Research Fellow at the Norwegian Nobel Institute, and is currently a Visiting Fulbright Scholar at Virginia Tech. Aside from academic research, he is also involved with Georgist movement building and engaged in the Effective Altruism movement.
