That's not what I mean. I mean wealth from the commons would be enjoyed by the common man. In other words, land is fundamentally a commons (no one has more of a right to a given chunk than anyone else) and thus the wealth affixing itself should be shared by those who create it. Now, you and I don't create land wealth (economic rent) in, say, Japan, but we do create land wealth in our local regions - a wealth we have a right to.
