Most people think “economics” is measured by national statistics: GDP, unemployment, inflation, federal taxes, balance of payments, and other aggregate issues. Georgists tend to think in microeconomic terms: price-quantity relationships, including the effects of taxes on those prices and in terms of local issues.

While both approaches are relevant, the Georgist approach is overshadowed because microeconomic issues are rarely discussed public spaces such as newspapers and online. To increase public receptivity to Georgist philosophy, we need a macroeconomic message.  This course is an attempt to present one.

Instructor:  Cliff Cobb was the editor of the American Journal of Economics and Sociology from 2014 through 2022.  He is best known  as the developer of the Genuine Progress Indicator, published by the San Francisco organization, Redefining Progress.

Instructor: Edward Dodson

Our national debate isn’t on a pathway to solutions. It’s on a pendulum… back and forth: Do we have more government or less government? More of social services or less of social services? Raise taxes or lower taxes? These arguments don’t end. Why does economics need a rethink? Because we’re having the wrong arguments.

This class will ask, could better ideas about what passes for economic fundamentals make capitalism more fair in its outcomes and less needy of government intervention? Is it actually possible to retire some of our political debates?

The instructor, Stephen Taft, has worked for decades on Wall Street managing others peoples’ money. Over that time, he delved into economic studies to help him cut through the chatter that drives many investment choices. What he found there is a misbegotten justice. He is eager to share his findings.
