This is the book that has long been waited for! It is a rewriting of conventional economics relating it to the real world by including the fundamental role played by land, the significance of credit and the banking system and the crucial impact of the method of taxation.
A New Model of the Economy by Brian HodgkinsonThis book offers a radical revision of modern economic theory. Its starting point is the existing body of both micro and macro economics, as developed in such textbooks as Economics by Begg, Fischer and Dombusch and Positive Economics by Lipsey and Chrystal. Following a similar framework to these books, it adjusts the whole range of theory by introducing some new concepts and other earlier ones that have been much neglected in the economic thought of the past century. These are related especially to the fundamental part played by land, in it proper sense of all natural resources available on the earth, the significance of credit, especially through the banking system, and the crucial impact of the method of taxation. Now published and available @ £30.00 HB from Shepheard-Walwyn (Publishers) Ltd. 15 Alder Road, London, SW14 8ER. www.shepheard-walwyn.co.uk For a recent review by Mark Braund in the Guardian see http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/sep/20/economy.recession |

The Henry George Foundation is an independent economic and social justice think tank and public education group with offices in London. We deal in cutting-edge ideas, exploring and promoting principles for a just and prosperous society and a healthy environment.
Our broad concern is the development of sound relationships between the citizen, our communities (from the local to the global) and our shared natural and common resources. These relationships are manifested through economics and the social sciences, and it is here that our specific focus lies.
We are active on three broad fronts - research, education, and advocacy - searching for and putting forward practical and innovative solutions to seemingly intractable social problems. The Henry George Foundation has the aim of putting people at the heart of economics.
