Sun 8th May: Joffre Balce:"Henry George & the Village of 100." Like many economists with a philosophical bent, Henry George, a 19th CE self-educated journalist, orator & politician confronted common notions that were actually myths -- e.g., that technological advances will result in massive unemployment, that capital was the source of employment and wages; and that population growth is a threat to prosperity or the converse, that controlling population will result in economic development. Arguing from both Henry George's philosophy & empirical data, the paper will debunk the last of the three myths mentioned.
