    Cooperative Individualism – The Elegant Recipe for a Just Society

    Joins us in this course to learn about cooperative individualism, the simple but elegant recipe for a just society.

    This course examines the origins and history of cooperative individualism, a set of principles argued as essential to the creation of just societies. Unlike the old divide between Left and Right, Cooperative Individualism offers a “Third Way” that reconciles property rights and human rights.

    The instructor, Edward J. Dodson retired in 2005 after three decades of management and analyst responsibilities in the housing finance industry. For most of that time he has taught political economy and lectured on history at the Henry George School of Social Science and Temple University. He is the author of a three-volume work, “The Discovery of First Principles” and a contributing writer to several periodicals devoted to promotion of the system of political economy developed in the late 19th  century by Henry George. In 1997 he established the online education and research project, the School of Cooperative Individualism.

    In this 5 session course, Allen Smith will explain the simple mechanics of money creation by banks, the role of central banks and how the way we run our money system influences economic outcomes such as wealth inequality.

    2020.10.06
    149 East 38th Street, New York, NY 10016

    PRINCIPLES OF POLITICAL ECONOMY

    Join us to discover the fundamental laws of political economy and how they can guide policy toward shared and sustainable prosperity.

    The purpose of this 5-session course is to offer a basic introduction to political economy in the tradition of Henry George as presented in his book Progress and Poverty.

    We will introduce the key concepts, axioms and fundamental laws of the discipline and use this understanding to analyze and explain economic issues in the real world. We will also examine the causes of poverty and discuss George’s unique approach to the problem. Additional issues such as the alternating cycles of boom and bust that are so characteristic of capitalist economies will be also discussed.
