<p><strong><span style="color: #993300; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Suggested Reading List</span></strong></p>
<p align="left"><span style="color: #333333;">The reading list below is comprised of books which deal with subjects in a way that allows an understanding of political economy from a larger perspective.   The term  <em><strong>Political Economy</strong></em> refers to the organization of society, i.e. the rules which govern personal conduct and the way which  individual rights are secured on one hand, and on the other hand, it refers to the activities of families and other groups to secure their existence and their procreation.  Thus, the study of <em>Political Economy</em> draws upon the discipline of Sociology, Political Science, Anthropology, Psychology, History, Economics (study of production and markets), Law, Human Geography, Ecology, International Relations and Cultural studies.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The book list and resources suggested by the Economic Club of San Francisco are chosen to provide for the reader a logical and coherent picture of <em>Political Economy</em> which relates to every day reality<strong><em>.</em></strong></span></span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Great Depression &#8211; Can it Happen Again?&#8221; &#8212; DVD of Speech by Dr. Antal Fekete</p>

<p>&#8220;The Great Depression &#8212; Can It Happen Again?&#8221;DVD  Run Time:  90 minutes</p>
<p>&#8220;Progress and Poverty&#8221; &#8212; Book by Henry George (Original Version)</p>
<p>Still the most widely sold book on economics to date.  Henry George lists clear definitions of classical  economics and explores the nature of wealth and the factors that produce it.  He explores how the wealth should be distributed to the factors of production according to the extent of their contribution, and he points out how wealth is actually distributed in our present economic system.  He clearly shows why under the present system poverty exists amidst great technological progress.</p>
<p>&#8220;Progress &#038; Poverty&#8221; Original Text</p>
<p>Paperback, 616 pp., Original 1879 Text, Printed 2003</p>

While the original version is written in prose common in the mid-19th Century, the abridged version applies a more colloquial English.</p>
<p>&#8220;Progress &#038; Poverty&#8221; Abridged Version</p>
<p>Paperback, 318 pp., Abridged Text, Printed 2006</p>
