Henry George Foundation Information

What is the Henry George Foundation, and what do we do?

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.

    What we do

    The Henry George Foundation works to provide practical, socially just and necessary solutions to some of the major problems of the world in the 21st Century.

    We look at old problems in new ways - we apply fresh thinking to what we see - and then we deliver new perspectives on what unhappily has become an old scene: the economic injustice in the world today.

    We engage with opinion formers and policy-makers across the public, private and civil sectors. Our outreach work seeks to connect and enlighten - for example, building bridges with interested constituencies and seeding ideas in areas of public policy concern.

    Our activities come under three broad headings - research, education, and advocacy.

      

  • The Science of Economics  ( 12 items )
    This section gives a brief outline of the main areas of economic theory as seen by the Henry George Foundation.
    We consider this a very important task, because some of our fundamental understanding of economics are enshrined in single words.  For example how could we hold a discussion about complex economic issues if we mean different things by the words: 'Value', or 'Property'.

    Please read and enjoy, and let us know if you think we have succeeded in explaining these important terms in a way that really starts to make sense to you.
