A Philosophy for a Fair Society
With the eclipse of the New Right, politicians now admit that society is in crisis. Something must be done, but, explain the authors, governments will fail again unless they shake off the economic orthodoxy which is now one of the problems rather than the means to a solution. This book investigates the roots of the problem, both historically and theoretically. Dr Michael Hudson draws on archaeology and history, from Bronze Age Mesopotamia through Rome to Byzantium, to show how a destructive virus crept into the body politic. This led to a breakdown in man' s relation to the environment and divided society into a wealthy ruling oligarchy and an impoverished majority. The Welfare State is an a...

The Annotated Works of Henry George
This is the first fully annotated edition of Social Problems (1883) and The Condition of Labor (1891), two important works by one of America’s most popular social economists. Social Problems grew out of a series of articles Henry George (1839-1897) published in Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper titled, “Problems of Our Times.” In his passionate, journalistic style, George described in graphic detail the horrific conditions facing large sections of the American people and how, by returning to first principles, society could remedy these conditions for current and future generations. The Condition of Labor takes the form of an open letter to Pope Leo XIII in response to the pontiff’s famous encyclical, Rerum Novarum. Echoing the religious themes dominant throughout all of his works, George argued that poverty is not part of God’s natural order and therefore, could be eradicated through political action. Both Social Problems and The Condition of Labor demonstrate George’s deep commitment to the reconciliation of ethics and economics in such a way that makes the world richer ethically and better off economically.

Untamed Urbanisms

For some, cities are the root of all that...

Social Capitalism: Against Mammonism
"Ye cannot serve God and Mammon." - Matthew 6:24 What is Mammon? It's the demon or devil of wealth and materialism, opposed to spirituality and "holy poverty". Or it's wealth itself, regarded as a false idol of worship and devotion, as an evil, seductive and debasing influence. The Cave of Mammon is the abode of the deity of wealth, full of the most desirable objects in the world, all the wealth that anyone could want. Mammon can corrupt anyone, even the Muses, the goddesses of the arts. Poor artists are vain and can be bought. It's easy. Everyone has their price. Mammon knows each person's "number", the price for which they will sell their soul. Matthew (6:24) was wrong. You can serve God a...
Reconstructing Urban Economics
Neoclassical economics, the intellectual bedrock of modern capitalism, faces growing criticisms, as many of its key assumptions and policy prescriptions are systematically challenged. Yet, there remains one field of economics where these limitations continue virtually unchallenged: the study of cities and regions in built-environment economics. In this book, Franklin Obeng-Odoom draws on institutional, Georgist and Marxist economics to clearly but comprehensively show what the key issues are today in thinking about urban economics. In doing so, he demonstrates the widespread tensions and contradictions in the status quo, showing how to reconstruct urban economics in order to create a more just society and environment.
