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

    Poverty 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 tend 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.
