Victor Niederhoffer's NYC Junto
The New York City Junto is a forum for individualists modeled after Benjamin Franklin’s famous discussion group. Victor Niederhoffer is founder and sponsor of the group. Meetings take place on the first Thursday evening of each month. Every meeting has a speaker, most of whom are leading individualist philosophers and economists. The idea is not to listen reverentially, but to arrive at a better mutual understanding of important issues. Lively debate is encouraged. |
