Prof Frank Stilwell's presentation to the 128th Annual Henry George Commemorative Dinner, Wednesday September 4, 2019 where he presents on the big challenges we face in light of economics' inability to address root causes. "That tendency within economics seems to me to be so inward-looking as to render it if not useless, possibly even worse than useless because it distorts our perception of reality when economics is dominated by these unrealistic thought experiments."  

Frank takes us through a journey of economic thought, but not before positing an interesting hypothesis on our ability to understand key knowledge in a sea of information. From this, we hope you find the study of various forms of economic theory as important in terms of a well rounded approach to policy making.
