Since the end of World War II the United States has experienced tremendous technological and scientific progress while simultaneously experiencing increasing economic inequality. Major social and economic changes, shifting political alliances, weak political leadership, compromised and biased public discourse combine to create a fertile ground ready for fresh ideas and ways of thinking. There can be shared prosperity.

Today Yannis Tziligakis and Marty Rowland map out the political discourse that must begin if we all are to enjoy a future filled with progress and prospertiy.

Marty Rowland studied economics under Daniel W. Bromley, emeritus professor of applied economics at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and used the theories of Elinor Ostrom (2010 Nobel Prize Economist) on common pool resource management systems.

Yannis Tziligakis is an independent researcher and educator, and a long-time advocate for the philosophy of Henry George.

    Teun van Sambeek is a former IT professional and computer programmer who now focuses on economics and monetary systems. After founding multiple companies, in 2011 he moved to Africa and turned his attention to developing affordable housing. His experiences in Africa led him to arrive at some of the same conclusions as Silvio Gesell, although at the time he was not aware of Gesell’s existence. He is the founder of the 1coinH system, which is an alternative monetary model that incorporates demurrage and Universal Basic Income.
