Your subscription includes monthly selections and your invitation to exclusive subscriber opportunities. Each month, Professor Boettke hosts an online salon available only to subscribers. Throughout the month, you’ll be able to engage in conversation online with Professor Boettke and fellow subscribers as well.
At the beginning of each month, subscribers receive a new book, a note from Professor Boettke, suggestions for pacing, and some questions to get you thinking. You’ll also receive a dedicated invitation to our private online community, where we can talk about the month’s title, connect with friends, and host bonus online events, such as quote contests and subscriber happy hours.
