Henry George School of Chicago

In his 1879 masterpiece Progress & Poverty, Henry George proposed to end poverty by recognizing a clear and logical distinction between private property and community property. America took a different path, which helps explain some of the problems we face today.  As well as overviewing George's life and work, Chuck Metalitz will explain why today, more than ever, George's ideas point the way to a prosperous, free, equitable and fiscally sound community.
