Introducing Progress and Poverty

This session outlines Henry George’s analysis of poverty and its persistence in a society of advancing wealth, including his proposal for solving the problem. We’ll talk about who Henry George was, why he became concerned about poverty, and what he understood to be its cause.  Most importantly, we’ll look at solutions tried in America (and elsewhere) in recent years, and compare them to what Henry George proposed. You’ll come away with a better understanding of why poverty persists, and how it could be eliminated.

There will of course be time for questions and discussion. At the conclusion of the session you’ll have the opportunity to enroll in our Progress & Poverty course.
