The Production & Distribution of Wealth
Part I: [Prerequisite for enrollment in PART II & III]
Examine the primary causes of poverty. Are slums, vice, violence, unemployment, and subsistence wages just symptoms?
- Trace the root cause of the business cycle from boom to bust and back to boom.
- Distinguish the Earth, nature and its natural opportunities from the products of human effort.
- Study the relationship between the individual and society.
- Identify those values which are not produced by individuals or corporations but by the community as a whole.
- Consider the free market proposals of Henry George: common ownership of natural resources and private property in the things produced.
