The Henry George School of Social Science was founded to acquaint the public with concepts presented in the writings of the great American political economist, Henry George, author of the classic, Progress and Poverty. Henry George reconciled the great paradox facing all civilizations: In spite of all our progress, why are there fewer jobs than there are workers?

If you are single or married, with a family or a single parent, all are welcome to join in our adventu …
