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
