Comments from our GraduatesIn comparison to many classes I have taken over the years, I feel that I have truly learned information that will be useful to me for many years to come-- college studentIt forces you to think deeper than you are accustomed to thinking.-- corporate controller It wasn't so much learning new things, as having what I already knew connected in a logical way.-- software developer The course was very exciting -- medical records analyst I will never look at a "disadvantaged" person on the street in the way that I used to -- financial analyst All questions were accepted and thoughtfully answered.-- high school teacher (retired) I see things differently now. -- mathematician It was great! I have a degree in economics, but we never covered any of this. -- accountant/controller I would recommend this course. Excellent teacher. -- sales executive I liked the way he laid out his general economic theory. The concepts were clear and concise. -- political operative and transit advocate I can't think of a better use of my time than taking this course. -- attorney It made me analyze and think about aspects of society and the economy in general which I would never have thought about without this course. -- physician I really enjoyed the informal, friendly, and non-stressful way that this material was presented -- CPA (retired) It helps you see your chains. -- artist & musician It gave me insight into the economy and where it's going.--divinity student It makes you more aware of how things are run — things you really don’t see. How communities are organized, how things move in and out. -- engineering student Certainly the best bargain in education I found. -- community organizer Here in Chicago, the Henry George School offers courses for people wishing a firmer grasp of economic fundamentals and the relationship of land to wealth.-- Neal T. Weintraub, commodity trader (from his book, Tricks of the Floor Trader) I like the idea of the round table discussion, and how we thrash out our views. -- real estate broker I find it very intriguing because it forces you to think deeper than you are accustomed to thinking. -- controller It was stimulating -- college science instructor It helped me get into the habit of thinking, and not just accepting things.-- office worker and parent I found the students and staff to be intelligent, tolerant, and often entertaining.-- social worker (retired) When I first visited the Henry George School, I came as a libertarian in politics, an agnostic in religion, and an observer in social organizations. Two years later, I have a concern for social justice, an appreciation for the truths of the Hebrew scriptures, and am an active participant in our community. How this came about I cannot fully explain. I can tell you that a transformation did occur and it occurred over a period in which I participated in over 60 classes centered on the writings of Henry George. -- David Hershey, financial analyst |
