Introduction to class: Social Problems – Henry George
In his Social Problems Henry George explores the wider conditions in which a society may flourish.
He argues that a just society is possible only to the degree in which ‘social intelligence’ is cultivated
that informs its institutions and laws. He writes:-
With the beginnings of society arises the need for social intelligence – for that consensus of
individual intelligence which forms a public opinion, a public conscience, a public will, and is
manifested in law, institutions and administration. As society develops, a higher and higher
degree of this social intelligence is required, for the relation of individuals to each other
becomes more intimate and important, and the increasing complexity of the social
organization brings liability to new dangers. (Social Problems Chapter 1)
We shall explore this central idea of George and see how it may be applied to our understanding of
modern society in the quest for justice.
