SAN FRANCISCO

It is the mission of the San Francisco School of Economics to offer to the layman, as well as the professional investor, a different prospective on the political economy and financial system by challenging the prevailing paradigm.   The courses and web workshops ARE NOT to be considered financial or investment advise. However, only with a fresh look at the present economic and financial problems is it possible to make investment decisions which hold a prospect of success. Below is a short description of the courses and web workshops offered for that purpose.

"Money & Banking" Web Workshops  (Presented on four consecutive Thursday nights from 7 PM to 8 PM)  For starting dates check the Webinar Page.

A webinar that challenges the common understanding of money. It reveals how the money, controlled by the people, was wrested from them and vested in the hands of the Federal Reserve with connivance of federal politicians. The webinar shows that the present monetary system is doomed. It points out what you must do to secure your savings, and what you as a voter can do to return control of money to the people. The information presented in this webinar provides facts that allow you to gain a new understanding about savings and investments when faced with a collapsing monetary system.

"Money & Banking" Course (San Francisco, CA for five consecutive  Wednesday nights from 7 to 9 PM)  For starting dates check the Courses Page.

The "Money & Banking" course is an academic look at the history of banking in North America.  It discusses the monetary system based on the bills of exchange doctrine and a redeemable currency.  It recounts the establishment of the Federal Reserve System and its currency system.  The course points out that the U.S. Constitution does not provide for a central bank, but instead provides for the U.S. Mint. The student will learn that under our laws the people were meant to be in charge of their "money".  Only with a thourough understanding of that fact can the cozy arrangement of federal politicians with the Federal Reserve be judged.  Anyone planning to save for retirement better understand that under a regime of irredeemable currency their savings will be tenuous, and the savings will likely not be there when needed.

"Fundamental Economics" Web Workshop  (Presented on four consecutive Thursday nights from 7 PM to 8 PM  For starting dates check the Webinar Page.

A webinar that describes the factors in the production of wealth and the less than fair methods by which wealth is distributed. It explains "allodial" land title and "fee simple" title and how title to property is acquired. The webinar reveals how the present taxation system forces the taxpayer to pay double the amount he assumes his taxpayment to be. You will learn about an alternative taxation system which is just and which will prohibit the clandestine "double taking". Unlike any other tax, this "single" tax will not diminish that which is taxed. Instead, it promotes a prosperous living standard and insures a clean environment.

"Fundamental Economics" Course   (San Francisco, CA for five consecutive Wednesday nights from 7 to 9 PM) For starting dates check the Courses Page.

This course clearly defines the terms used to discuss the questions of political economy.  It deals with the factors of production, and it describes how these factors of production are compensated in relation to their contribution in the creation of wealth.  The student learns how absolute title to property is acquired, what personal property and what real property is, what allodial title and what "fee simple" title is, how taxing authority is delegated, and who can exercise the "right of eminent domain".  It explains the role of government in providing an equal opportunity to earn a living and to insure that the fruits of ones labor can be enjoyed.  Anyone who attends this course will never be able to look at the present economic and taxation system in the same way as before.  Knowledge obtained in this course serves as the basis on which to build an economic life.

"U.S. Constitution" Web Workshop  (Presented on four consecutive Thursday nights from 7 PM to 8 PM  For starting dates check the Webinar Page.

A webinar that describes the uniqueness of the U.S. Constitution as a governing document. It explains the "checks and balances" incorporated in it prompted by the framers’ extraordinary understanding of history and of human nature. It points out the framers’ intent to create a republic with a rule of law to apply equally to all . The U.S. Constitution places faith in the average citizen to maintain the American republic and to preserve it from takeover by an elite. The webinar also explains how the ratification of the 17th Amendment in 1913 has placed the survival of the republic in jeopardy and that Federalism must be restored to forestall a rule by an oligarchy.

"U.S. Constitution" Course  (San Francisco, CA for five consecutive Wednesday nights from 7 to 9 PM)  For starting dates check the Courses Page.

This course recounts the meeting of the Constitutional Convention of 1787.  It looks at the most influental delegates and describes their contribution.  It looks at the "Bill of Rights" and other subsequent amendments to the Constitution and their effects.  It particularly discusses the effect of the 17th amendment on the state of the American Republic envisioned by the founding fathers.  Attendees of the course will learn that the men who created the remarkable document were ardent students of history and human nature who feared an all out democracy, and who contrary to present day assertions, did not want a "living, breathing" constitution.  Rather, they wanted the powers of the government clearly defined and for those powers to be delegated to government  by the people only.  Any citizen who wants to be a discerning voter should enroll in this course.
