______________________________________________________ HENRY GEORGE FOUNDATION Pointing the way to a better world Suite 427, The London Fruit Exchange, Brushfield Street, London E1 6EL Tel: 0207 377 8885 Fax: 0207 377 8686 E-mail: [log in to unmask] http:www.HenryGeorgeUK.cjb.net I am writing to invite you to a talk by James Robertson, one of the leading figures and writers in New Economics and founder of the New Economics Foundation. James' theme will be 'The New economics of Sustainable Development: Using Resource Rentals for Public Revenue'. This is a timely subject given the need to find new ways of raising revenue that are both efficient and just, coupled with the new opportunities of devolution. The talk will be at 6pm on Thursday 27th January in the 2nd Floor of 4 O'Meara Street, off Southwark Street (nearest tubes Borough and London Bridge). There is no entrance charge and all are welcome. If you are thinking of coming, or if you need any further information, please do contact us at the address above. This talk is the first in a monthly series leading to the launch of the 'Progressive Forum' on the 11th April 2000. The 'Progressive Forum' is a new network that will link together academics, professionals and others with an interest in resource rentals and their impacts, from fields such as planning, economics, development and housing. The Progressive Forum' initiates and circulates research and provides an information service to members. Further details will be available at the talk or from the above address. I hope to meet you on the 27th of January or subsequently.
