STUDY GROUP   2.30pm to 4pm: The Science of Policital Economy
Presenter: Tommas Graves. 
       
The Group is engaged in regular study and occasional talks presented by members of the Group and others.  The study, this term, will focus on Book V of The Science of Political Economy which deals with the challenging subject of Money - the medium of exchange and a measure of value.  
 
STUDY GROUP  6:40 to 8:10pm  Progress and Poverty
Presenter: David Triggs.
       
Progress and Poverty (Volume II in the newly published Annotated Works of Henry George series) will continue to be the subject of study by this Group.   Much clarity has been found in the study of George’s examination of capital and its function; the sources of wages; population and subsistence; the correlation of the laws of rent, wages and interest.  The summer term will provide an opportunity to recapitulate on all of this and lead into the distribution of wealth and the persistence of poverty.

Housing Crisis

The Housing Crisis and the Common Good

A talk by Dr Joseph Milne Monday

19th March 2018

Registration 6:40pm for Lecture at 7:00pm

Free Entry and Everyone is Welcome

Booking Required: eventbrite

This talk will explore the reasons why a wealthy nation like the UK fails to meet the housing needs of its citizens. It will demonstrate how the current housing market distorts the proper functioning of a free economy and is the root cause of the increasing gap between rich and poor. It will show how the commodification of land turns the competitive market into a monopoly over the citizen’s natural right to a home. Finally, it will argue that there are natural economic laws which, if understood and applied, would remedy the housing crisis and assure that the economy could function freely and for the common good. If you seek to explore Economics and the Social Sciences and to bring even accepted theories to the test of first principles, then this talk is for you.

The talk will be delivered at Friends House, Hilda Clark Suite, 173, Euston Road, London NW1 2BJ

Henry George and the Laws of Nature

Talk given to the Henry George Foundation by Joseph Milne 17th March 2017

In Progress and Poverty Henry George frequently calls upon the ‘laws of nature’ or ‘natural law’, or upon universal justice. I would like to explore what he really means by these expressions. One does not find them in current economic theory. Occasionally one hears a politician calling for justice, but often this is more a call for retribution rather than justice. But one never hears them invoke the ‘laws of nature’ or ‘natural law’. Find the full article here.
