The Science of Economics

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.
