My people yearn to reap where they never sowed and demand a rent even for the Earth's natural produce, and one day we shall do so free from the fear of persecution!

    Literally the first thing that anybody who follows any sort of classical liberal economics would do to make a stagnant economy function is disempower landlords, one way or the other. It is literally the largest boon to the emergent bourgeois, expanding capitalism as a functional and growing ideology, and increasing the wealth of a nation. Any nation that fails to do so must make up the deficit to pay for unproductive rent-seeking in imperialist ventures.
