What we’re about
We are a group of people generally exploring ideas from a right wing perspective which may include conservative, classical liberal or libertarian perspectives.
Our group will meet together with a presentation and discussion of relevant books or articles by key thinkers past and present including guest speakers on occasion. We may also focus on a particular issue, although we are not a political action group. No prior knowledge or political leaning is necessary, only genuine good faith inquiry and willingness to engage in civil discourse about these ideas.
Meetings will be live around the Sydney CBD area. And feel free to join our sister group, the Free Speech & Politics @ the Pub.

Can Capitalism Survive? The Ignored Warnings of Joseph Schumpeter
The Shakespeare Hotel, 200 Devonshire Street, Sydney, AUAgainst Marx' doctrine that capitalism will break down under the weight of its economic failure, Schumpeter thinks that its very success undermines the social institutions which protect it and creates conditions in which is will not be able to live and which strongly point to socialism as the heir apparent. The main forces that will achieve this are the corporations and intellectual elites that capitalism created in order to achieve its formidable success in economic life and human knowledge. Perhaps we are seeing Schumpeter's own warnings being realised today?
Dima Bicleanu will lead us in a discussion of Schumpeter's book 'Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy'. This can be found at the internet archive. The book is long but you are encouraged to read Part II 'Can Capitalism Survive?' and the appendix 'The March into Socialism' added to the 1949 edition.
As usual, some of us will arrive and grab a drink and dinner from 6:30. Feel free to join us. See you there!17 attendees
