A keen observer, Henry George noted the importance of cooperation in generating wealth, yet also recognized that competition was essential to civilization. Another astute observer, Jane Jacobs, stated “Whenever and wherever societies have flourished and prospered rather than stagnated and decayed, creative and workable cities have been at the core of the phenomenon. Decaying cities, declining economies, and mounting social troubles travel together. The combination is not coincidental.”

Tonight we examine George’s work on cooperation and competition, and consider the role of these forces in Jacob’s ideas on cities as engines of growth and development.

In tonight’s seminar Tom Ballou evaluates the presidency of Warren G. Harding and develops a template for grading presidents, past, present, and future.

    IS IT LAWFUL TO PAY TAXES TO CAESAR? HOW TO END THE US FISCAL IMPASSE?

    In his two most recent HGSSS talks, Dr. Perry described current Federal Reserve policies as unprecedented but apparently required by competing political dynamics which make it impossible for Congress either to raise taxes or to cut spending. This latest talk presents a deep analysis of the theories, the history, and the politics of Federal taxation and spending, and offers specifics for the implementation of a Georgist alternative to resolve the current fiscal impasse.

    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
