| The Network was in action during last week’s ALN Th@3 pm ET when there was talk about a paper coming out of the Brains & Bytes Digital Twin AI Workshop as part of the NIBS Building Innovation Conference 2024 . ALN Senior Fellow Marty Rowland , PhD, commented that the NIBS work is appropriate for inclusion in the special Asset Management edition of the American Journal of Economics and Sociology this fall. Mr. Rowland will join us this week to further explain ways to participate in the special edition Journal he is editing. Register at this link. And it is not too late to take 5 – 10 minutes to fill out the Society of American Military Engineers Asset Management Survey at this link . Results will be shared with those who include an email and we will provide a web program discussing the results. |

| The Henry George School of Social Science was founded in 1932 to establish fundamental economic justice and sustainable prosperity for all people. Henry George’s 1879 book, Progress and Poverty, is still the best-selling work on political economy and advocates a land tax to fund development of land that increases in value based on human use. Build a bridge across a river and the value on the connected sides of the river will increase in value because of increased human activity. The book also explores the constant presence of poverty despite increasing wealth – an issue that still persists and some think can also be addressed with asset management. Henry George’s ideas still shape discussion on development and taxes. |
