Overview of the Courses

Introductory Courses
There are now three courses open to all interested adults, without prerequisite.  
  • Progress & Poverty. Henry George's most important book provides the basis for our course of the same name. The course is offered in two versions and is the first of our three-course sequence in Principles of Political Economy.   
  • Poverty, Liberation, and Land Reform focuses mainly on efforts to aid the "developing" world, and shows how economic principles can be applied more effectively. 
  • Social Problems is a new course which introduces Henry George's thought on a range of contemporary issues.

Advanced Courses
Those who have completed Progress and Poverty are invited to take the advanced courses of our core sequence:

A certificate is awarded upon completion of each course, and those who have completed Progress & Poverty, Applied Economics, and Economic Science receive an additional certificate for completing the Principles of Political Economy sequence.
