“The Land Question and Community”
Joseph Milne will consider how the privatisation of land, the rise of modern industry, and the evolutionary ideologies of progress in the nineteenth century destroyed the self-sufficiency of communities and turned free people into wage labourers.

“George, Marx, Socialism, and Money”
David Triggs will consider how George’s view that the most important factor in the world as we know it is "that which feels, perceives, thinks and wills" might explain differences between his theories and those of Marx, who insisted that economic analysis must begin "with the analysis of a commodity".
