2024 Henry George Dinner and Address
Prosper Australia invites you to join us for a night of intellectual discourse and celebration as we honour the legacy of 19th-century economist and social reformer, Henry George.
The 2024 Henry George commemorative address will be delivered by Sock-Yong Phang, a visiting Singaporean economist and expert in housing finance, boom-bust cycles, value capture, and Singapore’s unique housing system and public development agencies.
The evening will also feature the presentation of the E.J. Craigie Award for the best article or essay contributing to contemporary Georgist thinking over the past year.
Tickets are available at: www.prosper.org.au/hgd2024
