Founding Father Robert Morris and Money in America Economic Justice and The Narrative Creation Process
These Roundtables explore JFK’s peace plan and Henry George’s economics, which make life affordable and prosperity possible where they are used.
Special guest Robert M. Morris will present the indispensable contributions to America’s founding made by his ancestor Robert Morris and how he was “written out of history” by his enemies who won the election of 1800. Discussion will follow about the “narrative creation process” and the questions:
What is money? On what should its value be based? How, in a democratic republic, can the people guarantee economic justice and opportunity for all?
We recently explored Alexander Hamilton’s American System of economics, which arguably created the greatest periods of industrial growth and wealth in our history.
According to Henry George, whom we always discuss, that progress made some people very rich, but it also sank many into poverty, because land values rose faster than wages, which leads to many problems, including the unaffordable housing and homelessness that plague us today.
George advocated taxing unearned income and land value and removing taxes from labor and production. Where his principals are used, life becomes affordable and prosperity possible.
What’s so urgent about this conversation? Well, as Joshua Vincent, Executive Director of the Center for the Study of Economics, said in a recent Roundtable:
“The worst people in the world know what this is. … And they understand the power of land value and land economics and land rent. That’s how they get rich without working. … we’ve figured out how to [transform the situation] here in the USA, Estonia, Denmark, Australia. Lots of places do it. … that’s how you disarm the speculators who are very dangerous.”
