The Henry George School Podcast

Today’s discussion was recorded in November 2024 and is with Mr. Paul Forrester, the second-place winner of our 2024 Annual Writing Contest.

Mr. Forrester is a Ph.D. candidate at Yale University's philosophy department where he researches ethics, political philosophy, and how institutions make economic cooperation more feasible. He has authored several papers, including The Desire Machine, New Argument for Uniqueness about Evidential Support, Concurrent Awareness Desire Satisfactionism, and many others. Mr. Forrester earned his bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and Political Science from Duke University.

Together, we discussed a dialogue between John Locke and Henry George, both of their theories of self-ownership, and why natural resources are necessary for all economic and human activity.
