Economics for Progressives

Progressives seek greater economic equality, universal medical care, affordable housing, and free education but targeting these problems via direct legislation seems to be their preferred policy tool. Are there any unintended consequences to this approach? What other remedies are there to consider? Join us as Professor Fred Foldvary of San Jose University leads our interesting and timely interactive seminar.

Henry George School of Social Science is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
Time: Jul 31, 2019 06:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
