Poverty Perpetuation, Dynamics, Mechanisms, and Reforms
WebinarHenry George School of Social Science149 East 38th Street, New York, NY 10016Poverty Perpetuation, Dynamics, Mechanisms, and Reforms
This talk will investigate the determinants and mechanisms of poverty perpetuation with a view to challenging mainstream academic discourse. We will review Henry George’s theory in an effort to understand why development in modern technology, social services, and education fails to alleviate poverty, and why the growing wealth of industrialized economies tends to stay concentrated in fewer hands. We will look into various growth models to understand the steady state of rich and poor economies, their technical issues, and policy implications, and lastly how the ecological imbalance and climate change impact poverty and vice versa.
The speaker, Nishu Mehrish is a PhD candidate in Economics at the New School of Social Research, NY.

Masters of Money: Now, More than Ever. And Just in Time – Frederick Soddy’s Winning Trifecta
WebinarHenry George School of Social Science149 East 38th Street, New York, NY 10016Masters of Money: Now, More than Ever. And Just in Time – Frederick Soddy’s Winning Trifecta
In this first session of our Masters of Money series, Joe Bongiovanni will engage in a conversation on Nobel laureate Dr. Frederick Soddy’s unique work on the national economy’s broken “wealth-distributing” mechanism via our existing money system, and on society’s need for achieving ecological balance . The talk will highlight Soddy’s relevance by discussing his pioneering contribution on ‘internalizing’ the cost of environmental degradation that is regularly ‘externalized’ in today’s model of Finance Capitalism.
Joe Bongiovanni is, perhaps uniquely, a second-generation monetary reformer and the former Director of Vermont’s Kettle Pond Institute for Debt-Free Money. Joe is a Founding Member of the U.S.-based Alliance For Just Money (Inc.) and for over a decade Joe has been a regular speaker at the American Monetary Institute’s (AMI) Annual Monetary Reform Conference.
