Britain has voted to leave the EU since 2016 and yet, political elites seem to have opted for delay tactics to undermine people’s choice.

Three years ago the British people took a detour and opted to take the freeway to freedom. They voted to leave the European Union and reassert their national sovereignty and protect their traditional liberties. Since then the elites have sought to undermine the outcome of that vote and force Britain to continue to be tied to the apron strings of the European Union.

Join us for an interactive seminar with Tom Ballou to discuss what choices lie ahead for Britain as wells as their social and economic implications.

    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.
