Hi, I’m Barend. Welcome to my website.

Here you will find some information about me and what I write. I write because I want my children to live in a free world. They should have the opportunity to live on a old sailing barge, to sail with passengers, to build their own house, to travel in a van, to own their house, to run their own business or, if they want, to earn their living in a boring office job.

Yes, there are some issues. We should save the planet, end poverty and make housing affordable. But more government and mass surveillance is not the best way. I am a geoist and I believe that people have equal rights to the earth. If we fix this, many problems will become resolvable. I would like to explain how this can work!

Please join me on my journey…

Book

On Liberty and Earth Ownership – How we can save our planet, end poverty, and gain freedom through access to what nature provides for free

Investors like Blackrock are rapidly buying up the earth. How does it affect our freedom if we can no longer own our homes, farmland, or workshops?

Nature provides some things for free, such as air, water, and land. Today clever investors can charge others a high price for their place on earth. If they could, they would extend this to the air we breathe. Geoism is the insight that people are equally entitled to these things. More equal access to natural resources would be a powerful way to reduce inequality within and between countries.

This approach can help us to better address issues such as unaffordable houses, work pressure, the decline of small businesses, climate change, political oppression, and mass migration. An enormous government and mass surveillance are not the best way to make our world a better place. This booklet sketches an alternative to capitalism and socialism, and outlines what a truly free world might look like.
