– FINDING BALANCE AND ENSURING EQUITY

Wed, May 12, 2021, 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM EDT
Money talk continues with an introduction to the economics of parity.

In this webinar, Randy Cook will present some hidden history, regarding US national wealth distribution in the 20th Century. He will highlight some implications for untangling present problems with our money system, a requirement for restoring prosperity and forwarding our struggle for social justice.

The speaker Randy Cook is the President of the National Organization for Raw Materials (NORM). Research by this group has been ongoing since 1936. He wrote articles for AcresUSA for several years, exploring the dimensions of parity economics. In his spare time, Randy runs a pesticide-free pick-your-own blueberry farm in Michigan, and enjoys playing his hand-made guitars.

    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.
