The Dead Economist Society
Where the past meets the present and pages meet conversation, the long-departed voices of economics stir back to life through close reading, shared debate, and ideas that refuse to age, carrying you from a centuries-old argument to a thought entirely your own.
Here's how the Dead Economists Society works: we kick things off with a meeting to pick our next book together, so come with suggestions or just an open mind. From there, we read over the next couple of weeks and meet once a week to dig into it, unpacking its arguments and arguing over what it gets right and wrong. There are usually snacks, because no good discussion happens on an empty stomach. Meeting times and locations vary, and the reading list evolves as we go. To keep up, just drop your email into the form. You'll receive updates on which book we're reading, along with when and where each meeting is being held. No prior economics background required, just a willingness to read closely and join the conversation.
