Just economics...

Hi! Don't know if anyone has heard of this course. Its well priced (£75, concessions £50, students £20) and is taught very Bond Street tube, central London. I think I'm going to go, if anyone wants to join me let me know.

Check out these introductory paragraphs:

"The study of economics was the founding inspiration for the School. Dismayed by the poverty and despair of the great depression in the early 1930s the small group of founders became convinced that economics was profoundly misunderstood and set about finding answers that conventional economics had failed to provide.

Guided by the belief that truth and justice should guide their studies the founders looked for natural laws governing societies. They found inspiration and insight in the writings of Henry George, who highlighted the key significance of access to land and natural resources as an economic factor.

Today, following the same inspiration, economics is studied and taught in the School as economics-with-justice, or JustEconomics. This is an approach to economics with justice at its heart, an approach that offers new perspectives on more conventional economic thought and practice."
