No Wall, No Privilege: How True Free Trade Can Raise American Wages and End Poverty @ Overflow Coffee Bar
Feb 14 @ 6:15 pm – 8:15 pm
No Wall, No Privilege: How True Free Trade Can Raise American Wages and End Poverty @ Overflow Coffee Bar | Chicago | Illinois | United States

International trade has been a continuing issue throughout our history. The issues Henry George confronted in the late 19th century were similar to those raised in the recent election. His careful analysis showed that both sides were wrong, and proposed a trade policy to raise real wages of working Americans.

Despite huge social, technological, and demographic changes since George’s time, his analysis requires only very minor updates, and concludes that today, again, both sides are wrong. Take this opportunity to understand and evaluate for yourself a proposal to achieve widespread prosperity, here and now, thru True Free Trade.

This free presentation by Henry George School instructor Chuck Metalitz is adapted from our “Protection or Free Trade” course.
