I don't see the connection between paper money and land value tax. One of the reasons economists like taxing land is that the supply is perfectly inelastic---literally fixed to be precise. So a tax can't distort the market.

If you can read German and like some historical musings in this direction (including about money), do read Silvio Gesell. https://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~roehrigw/gesell/nwo/nwo.pdf
