About Martin Adams

Martin Adams is a systems thinker, software engineer, and author of “Land: A New Paradigm for a Thriving World”. His work explores how economies can function fairly and sustainably by uncovering the patterns that make living systems thrive.

After studying business and finance, Martin chose not to pursue a career on Wall Street. Instead, he set out to understand why so many people struggle while wealth keeps concentrating in fewer hands. Through years of research and real-world experiences with community projects, he found that much of this imbalance comes from people extracting income from the value of land and other shared resources — value created by society and nature, not by individual effort.

Building on the insights of classical economists such as Henry George and other reformers who studied land, value, and justice, Martin’s work brings these timeless ideas into the modern era. He explains in simple, practical terms how changing the way we manage land and natural wealth could reduce inequality, lower housing costs, and help the planet recover — while turbocharging productivity and innovation.
