In Search of a Healthy Society: The Illness of Interconnected Global Credit

In this joint webinar organized in collaboration with the Henry George Foundation (London), Edward J. Dodson explores the history and ongoing effects of how banking and money creation combine with systems of land tenure and taxation to dictate the distribution of wealth in society.

Ed will share his insights from a long career in the financial services industry and his four decades of research, writing and teaching political economy based on the works of Henry George.

Attendees are invited to read Ed’s article available in Land and Liberty from the website of the Henry George Foundation at https://www.henrygeorgefoundation.org/publications/land-liberty-magazine/1097-land-liberty-issue-1250-spring-2020/file.html
