Information About

Mason Gaffney




He first read Henry George when a high school junior. After he served in the S.W. Pacific during World War II , this interest led him back to get a Ph.D. in Economics at Berkeley, where he tried to meet his teachers' skepticism with a dissertation, "Land Speculation as an Obstacle to Ideal Allocation of Land."

Since then he has published many books and articles on land use, economics, taxation, and public policy. He has been a Professor of Economics at several Universities; a journalist with TIME, Inc.; a researcher with Resources for the Future, Inc.; the head of the British Columbia Institute for Economic Policy Analysis, which he founded; an economic consultant to several businesses and government agencies; and a frequent speaker on economic topics, domestic and foreign, and in political campaigns. He has been a Director of R.S.F. since 1988.
