SMART TALK
Well-known and widely respected economists, political scientists and social thinkers examine Henry George’s philosophies in today’s society and economy

“I ask no one who may read this book to accept my views. I ask him to think for himself” -Henry George, Social Problems.

Rather than simply accept the views of any one person or institution, people should seek exposure to and thoughtful consideration of a host of ideas. With this in mind, the Henry George School of Social Science has launched Smart Talk, a series of discussions with leading economists from around the world. We invite you to watch the Smart Talk videos of discussions with some of the most talked-about economic and social thinkers of our times. Think about what you hear. You might just uncover the truth.
