New Class in Chicago: After the Crash | hgchicago.org
One of my google alerts brought me this, and I’m delighted to see that a class is being taught using this book as text. I wish our Congress members and many of their committee staff could attend.
The subtitle to the book is “Designing a Depression-Free Economy/”
After the Crash | hgchicago.org.
Traditional Henry George School classes, including Progress & Poverty, help us comprehend how an economy based on justice would never crash the way ours has over the past few years. But now that we’re in a mess, how do we get out?
After the Crash extends and applies Henry George’s analysis to the problem of today: How to help the economy recover and improve opportunity for productive work. The text is Mason Gaffney’s book of the same name, a copy of which is included in the $25 registration fee. Bob Jene is the instructor. Class meets Tuesdays, 6 PM, January 10 thru February 28, at 28 E. Jackson #1004. You can use this form to pre-register, or just show up.
There’s a website for this book here, which includes the preface to the book (a useful document in its own right), and a link to an interview with the author, Mason Gaffney.
If you are anywhere in the Chicago metro area, go take this course!
