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.

    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.
