"Seeing the cat" is a phrase for seeing a hidden cat in a old picture that once seen, you can't unsee.
With both basic income and the need to capture land values the implications are both unrealized and dramatic.
Here is Martin Adams and others at a recent talk i attended.

Truth is if you worked as an economist in the UK you know this person. You know he's right as well. You know that where we are is because economic uncertainty and instability in a global transformation is not being addressed.

Professor Standings chapter "Confronting the utilitarian consensus" of his 2014 book "The Precariat Charter" explains what happened in sharp detail.
This talk is especially enlightening. UK based but as he has explained, its a global phenomenon.
