Reading Group

Greetings and I hope this finds everyone very well. I would like to wish everyone a very happy and peaceful New Year.   I hope you can join us on the Friday Afternoon Reading Study Group again in the coming term.

At the end of last term we read Chapter IV of Book 3  (AWHG page 473) entitled The Real Difference between Laws  of Production and of Distribution.   I propose that we start the new term by reading that chapter again.     It is so easy to forget the huge importance of  what George means by the Laws of Production and Distribution.  Our own experience on Friday afternoons has shown us that!  He is not talking about producing things and having them distributed to the sales point.   He gets us to contemplate Justice.  this is what he says:-

“In short, the distinction between the laws of production and the laws of distribution is not, as is erroneously taught in the scholastic political economy, that the one set of laws are natural laws, and the other human laws. Both sets of laws are laws of nature. The real distinction is pointed out in the last chapter, that the natural laws of production are physical laws and the natural laws of distribution are moral laws. And it is this that enables us to see in political economy more clearly than in any other science, that the government of the universe is a moral government, having its foundation in justice. Or, to put this idea into terms that fit it for the simplest comprehension, that the Lord our God is a just God”.

Term Dates:   (NB:  I would be grateful if we could start at 1:30 on 30^th Jan and finish by 3pm)
