I'm creating this link post because I think Lars Doucet's Georgism series on Astral Codex Ten was one of the most important intellectual contributions to the community in 2021, and such a post allows it to participate in the LessWrong 2021 Review [LW · GW].

The Georgism series was my first interaction with a piece of economic theory that tried to make sense by building a different model than anything I had seen before. It was clear and engaging. It has been a primary motivator in my learning more about economics.
I'm not sure how the whole series would work in the books, but the review of Progress and Poverty was a great introduction to all the main ideas.
