Martin Luther King and Henry George

In this lecture on the principles of political economy embraced by Martin Luther King, Jr., Edward Dodson examines Henry George’s influences on King’s views regarding the causes of income and wealth inequality existing in the United States and other societies. King came to understand that other systemic factors beyond racism had to be addressed before anything approaching equality of opportunity could be achieved.

With the release of applications such as ChatGPT and the like, many analysts are indeed asking this question. This panel of three distinguished speakers will discuss the impact of AI and Automation on labor markets and highlight possible policy responses.
