Where is YOUR wealth?

Posted by: Henry George School of Social Science

Description

Economics is about Choice

Our society has made tremendous scientific and social progress. So why do unemployment, environmental destruction, and poverty persist? Are they evidence of poor choices and misplaced priorities?

Acquire a fresh perspective

At the Henry George School of Social Science you will discover the true cause of and cure for problems such as low incomes, poverty and unemployment. You will understand why so few are so wealthy, while others go without basic necessities.

Make more reasoned, ethical choices

At the Henry George School of Social Science you will learn how some simple reforms will reward individual initiative, raise incomes and promote responsible development

In our free class, Fundamental Economics: First Principles, you will be able to answer these questions:

  • What is wealth? How is it created – and increased?
  • Trace the root causes of the business cycle and social ills such as unemployment and poverty
  • Learn why the earth's natural resources are fundamentally different from the wealth people create
  • See how to raise incomes and encourage responsible development

.This class meets every Saturday from 2 PM to 4 PM for 3 weeks.
