Locke and George on Original Acquisition

In this webinar, Mr. Paul Forrester will discuss how natural resources, especially land, play an important role in many economic problems society faces today, including the climate crisis, housing shortages and severe inequality. Mr. Forrester will present a comparison of Lockean and Georgist natural governance regimes and analysis of their distributive implications.

Mr. Forrester is a PhD student in the Philosophy Department at Yale University writing a dissertation about the institutions that make economic cooperation possible, and how we can both grow the economic pie and divide it more equitably. He won second place in the 2024 HGSSS Writing Contests (College/University & Graduate Students).
