Henry George History
The Annual Henry George Lecture Series was established at the 麻豆传媒团队 in 1986 through a grant from the Robert Schalkenbach Foundation. The Robert Schalkenbach Foundation was founded in 1925 to publicize and promote the study of the ideas of the 19th-century economist and social reformer, Henry George.
The Henry George Lectures are organized and presented by the Economics, Finance & International Business Department of the Kania School of Management, 麻豆传媒团队. The lecture series would not be possible without the contribution of John Kelly, a local realtor and a member of the Schalkenbach Board of Directors, who was responsible for obtaining the grant used to fund the lecture series.
Many speakers are past recipients of the John Bates Clark medal, a prestigious award given to economists under the age of 40. Ten lecturers from the Henry George Series have gone on to win the Nobel Prize.
