  • Silvio Gesell: Beyond Capitalism vs. Socialism?
    Session 2
    6:30 pm-7:30 pm
    2024.03.04
    149 East 38th Street, New York, NY 10016

    Silvio Gesell: Beyond Capitalism vs. Socialism?

    This course will examine how Gesell’s life experiences led him to a unique understanding of the creation and distribution of wealth. He concluded that the central idea of the free-market system is theoretically sound. However, it has never been properly implemented due to two fundamental flaws — an irrational form of money and the private ownership of land. Gesell’s simple yet radical analysis explains how these two factors are the primary causes of poverty, wealth inequality, economic instability, and a “growth imperative” that is at odds with the laws of nature.

    The instructor, Josh Sidman studied economics and Japanese language at Union College in Schenectady, NY. Following graduation he went to work on Wall Street, first as a financial analyst at Goldman Sachs in New York, and then as a Japanese equity derivatives trader at Morgan Stanley in London and Tokyo. Josh is the founder and director of the Silvio Gesell Foundation, aTennessee-based organization dedicated to promoting the theories and proposals of Silvio Gesell.

  • The Fed’s Other Mandate: Facilitating and Regulating Wage Slavery
    Seminar
    6:30 pm-8:00 pm
    2024.03.05
    149 East 38th Street, New York, NY 10016

    THE FED’S OTHER MANDATE: FACILITATING AND REGULATING WAGE SLAVERY


    This talk continues our analysis of macroeconomics begun in January with our lecture “The Fed Has Lost Control of the Money Supply.” Just as the previous talk explored emergent properties in the Fed’s management of the money supply which were evident to a Semantic Analyst but were not otherwise perceived by conventional macroeconomics, this talk will focus on similar emergent properties of the Fed’s efforts to control unemployment.

    The instructor, Dr. W. E. Perry, has long been engaged in developing the tools of semantic analysis to help better understand determinism, causality, and the emergence of new properties from a variety of data sources.

    Instructor: Dr. W. E. Perry

    Date: Tue, March 5, 2024
    Time: 6:30 PM — 8:00 PM ET

    Note: This is an online event. After registration, the Zoom link, along with the Meeting ID and Passcode, will be provided via email the day of the session.

    2024.03.06
    149 East 38th Street, New York, NY 10016

    Understanding our Political Economy

    This course explains the fundamental relations between the factors of production utilized in the process of wealth creation and the natural laws that govern its distribution. We will use the interdisciplinary approach employed by Henry George in his writings to provide cohesive, evidence-based insights into why economies experience cycles of boom and bust. Additionally, the course will explain why societies continue to experience generational poverty and what measures can be adopted to bring these problems to an end.

    The instructor, Edward J. Dodson is a retired banker, former director and long time faculty member of the Henry George School of Social Science.

    Dates: Wednesdays – 1/24, 1/31, 2/7, 2/14, 2/21, 2/28, 3/6, 3/13, 3/20, 3/27

  • Full Access or Full Employment: The Macroeconomics of UBI
    Seminar
    6:30 pm-7:30 pm
    2024.03.26
    149 East 38th Street, New York, NY 10016

    FULL ACCESS OR FULL EMPLOYMENT: THE MACROECONOMICS OF UBI


    Universal Basic Income (otherwise known as basic income, or UBI) is a regular cash payout delivered to all on an unconditional basis, without means-test or work requirement. In popular discourse, UBI is often framed as a supplement or alternative to existing social safety net programs. This talk will present a different perspective, and explore the potential of UBI as an alternative form of macroeconomic policy: a different way of managing aggregate spending, the money supply, and overall financial conditions.

    The speaker, Derek Van Gorder is an independent scholar and co-founder of the Greshm Institute, a non-profit organization devoted to promoting serious discussion on the economics of Universal Basic Income. He is currently writing a series of essays on the mechanics of UBI policy. Recorded discussions and debates with Derek relating to economics can be found on his YouTube channel.

    Instructor: Derek Van Gorder
