Why does our economy go Boom Bust Boom?
In his seminal book, Progress and Poverty, Henry George clearly showed that society’s enormous power to produce wealth was not a cause of recessions and depressions. Why, 137 years later, with even better technology, do we still have unemployment, homelessness, and low wages?
Insights in the acclaimed documentary “Boom Bust, Boom” by Terry Jones will help us explore the nature of the business cycle and consider strategies to make the economy work for everyone.
