Introducing Progress & Poverty (January 14) is the first session of this course. If you’re intrigued by the ideas presented there, you should enroll. Reading includes the full text of the book, or a modernized abridgement, as well as a few supplementary essays and question sets. Classes are in a discussion or seminar format, supplemented by some videos. Here is more about what you will and won’t learn in this course. An alternative course description is here.
We request a $25 donation to help cover expenses, but nobody will be turned away for inability to pay.
Henry George was born in Philadelphia on September 2, 1839, so we’ll celebrate his 186th birthday a day early, on Labor Day. As usual, the event will be in a south Evanston back yard, beginning when we get some shade around 3:00, and continuing at least until dark (We do have indoor space in case of rain or extreme heat).
There is no charge for this event but it’s a potluck; bring something if you can and let Chuck know about it. Grilled sausages and some vegan stuff will be provided. All alumni, friends, and prospective students of the School are welcome but you must let us know you’re coming. Expect to find some liquids including beer, maybe wine and soft drinks if somebody brings some.
