In memory of Suzie Schuyler, our beloved President. She will be deeply missed.

March 8, 2026

It is with profound sadness that the Henry George School of Social Science announces the passing of our beloved President, Suzie Schuyler, on March 8, 2026.

Suzie was a remarkable leader, a devoted champion of this School's mission, and a cherished member of our community. Her passion for education, her generosity of spirit, and her unwavering commitment to the Henry George School of Social Science inspired all who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside her.

During her leadership, Suzie brought warmth, wisdom, and quiet determination to everything she did. She cared deeply about the people around her and about carrying forward the ideas and educational work that define this institution. Her vision guided the School through consequential moments, and her absence will be felt profoundly by our board, our staff, and the supporters whose lives she touched.

We extend our deepest condolences to Suzie's family and friends, and to all who were fortunate enough to share in her life.

Her legacy will endure in the work we carry on in her memory.

Smart Talk: Trump, the Economy and You

December 11, 2016

What can America expect from a Donald Trump Presidency? Andrew Mazzone of the Henry George School of Social Science looks at some of the tantalizing clues from Trump’s career and campaign, and offers some surprising forecasts. First, the speaker puts Trump in the context of postwar global capitalism and the movement of U.S. jobs overseas. He shows how Trump successfully tapped into widespread political discontent. Trump did not cause the inequalities in wealth and income that afflict the U.S. today, but nevertheless must confront the problems that those disparities have caused. One solution, Mr. Mazzone suggests, is an ambitious program of infrastructure improvements. Even building that wall might help.
