Title: The Ground Rent — the Actual and «False» Social Values
Abstract: The article author examines the concept of ground rent. The issue is becoming increasingly topical today. However, the authors of available publications do not provide sufficient reasoning for the concept. The article author examines today’s economists’ views of the ground rent and the definitions of the term given by the economists of the past. The reasoning is provided by the author for the argument that labor as a category found in any social and economic system is the basis upon which the ground rent is formed. The excessive revenue in this case is seen as a base rent. It is erroneous to see differential rent purely as a «false» social value. It is one of the key conclusions the author makes.
Classification-JEL: D13, D14
