DESCRIPTION:If you're up for a thought-provoking two and three-quarters hours that's 
 about ideas as much as fascinating historical figures, you'll be thrilled 
 by the intellectual panorama presented!\n\nIn 1879 a San Francisco 
 newspaperman and social philosopher proposed a revolutionary piece of 
 public policy to fix the glaring wealth divide in the United States. Treat 
 land values as community property. Within 10 years he had sold 3 million 
 copies of his book, upset the British Empire, run for mayor of New York 
 City as organized labor's champion, and engaged the Pope in public 
 discourse on the rights of humanity. I refer to Henry George, today buried 
 in the index of economic texts, but nevertheless deserving a 
 hearing.\n\nCome along on a walking tour surveying San Francisco social 
 movement history on the way to introducing you to America's Karl Marx . . . 
 with the twist that he disputed Marx's binary thinking, maintaining that 
 the Earth constituted a distinct third leg in diagnosing the problem of the 
 wealth divide. \n\nOn this fast-paced walk, you'll meet the Black Panthers, 
 the American Indian Movement, the LGBTQ quest for full citizenship, the 
 money reform dilemma, Sun Yat-sen and China's democracy movement, and many 
 more stories of those seeking liberation in the distinctive San Francisco 
 spirit that outrages complacency.\n\nAlong the way we'll discover a way to 
 honor labor, humanity, and the quest for civic life.\n\n
