From its beginnings in London to its worldwide
enrollment—including affiliated schools in Europe, North and
South America, South Africa, and Australasia—this account
examines the history and growth of the School of Economic Science.
Based on the economic theories of the American social reformer and
economist Henry George and the land tax campaigns led by Andrew
MacLaren, the school’s philosophy has adapted over the course of
eight decades. Influenced by spiritual leader George Gurdjieff,
philosopher Peter Ouspensky, and Indian sage Sri Shantananda
Saraswati, to name a few, the institution has attracted hundreds of
thousands of students, but it has also endured criticism and
controversy. Objectively, this record explains why supporters of
the School of Economic Science hold it in such high regard.
