What we’re about
This group is meant to foster the spread of knowledge about history, politics, and economics while encouraging non-polarized discussion. People from all walks of life are encouraged to join - let's read books that teach, illuminate and invite investigation and then meet up to exchange ideas, listen to one another and help contribute to rational thinking in society.
