    COMPARATIVE CAPITALISM

    Loosely defined as an economic system that highlights the importance of private property and free markets, Capitalism has been subject to various practical interpretation informed by history, culture and context. In this five session course, Michael Bucher will present cross-country variations of modern capitalism, comparing and contrasting the share-holder model that has been holding sway in the United States since the early 1980 to alternatives that place more emphasis on workers and communities.

    This class meets on Mondays from June 21 to July 26.

    SAINTS AND DEMAGOGUES – SOCIAL REFORMERS THROUGH THE LENS OF HENRY GEORGE

    This course compares and contrasts the ideas of six intellectual luminaries, primarily from the late 19th/early 20th centuries with those of Henry George. These include, Huey P. Long, William Jennings Bryan, Thorstein Veblen, Allyn Abbott Young, Friedrich Hayek, and John Cary.

    Join us in examining the work of these influential thinkers and see where they stand on George’s unique proposal for the “free” provision of infrastructure services that we all need to prosper – humans and corporations alike.
