    In colonial Australia, the state artificially inflated land prices (which were extremely low because they’d killed all the natives) to put them beyond the reach of new colonizers, forcing those colonizers to work in factories and fields owned by an entrenched capitalist class.

    Libertarians love price controls when they work in their favor.
