Alanna Hartzok is Co-Director of Earth Rights Institute and author of The Earth Belongs to Everyone, recipient of the 2008 Radical Middle Book Award. A United Nations NGO representative and former board member of United for a Fair Economy, Alanna serves on the Advisory Counsel of the Prout Research Institute of Venezuela and is a senior associate of the Robert Schalkenbach Foundation. Her work for new economics grew out of her search for understanding root causes of poverty and war.
Wendell Fitzgerald holds a law degree and for several years worked inside a major corporation. His experiences and observations led to his involvement with new paradigm economics. He currently serves as President of the Henry George School of Social Science of Northern California. Of primary interest to him is how economics can be returned to its rightful place as guide to securing basic needs for all, including the need for fulfillment of what Abraham Maslow called "the further reaches of human nature."
