Introducing the Liberalism Introductory Reading Group

This is a self-organized reading and discussion group formed by people with an interest in modern and contemporary Korean history and liberalism.

The group operates by selecting one introductory book on liberalism or another work of general interest each month, with members reading it individually and then gathering to discuss it freely.

Separately, for those who are interested, we also run an advanced study course through biweekly meetings. Currently, we are in the 3rd session of *The Road to Serfdom*.

Since our group was formed on 2019.3.8, we have read and discussed the following books:

01. *The Russo-Japanese War and Changes in Northeast Asia* (Sunghwa Jung) 2019.3.28

02. *Poor Joseon* (Soyoung Moon) 2019.4.30

03. Margaret Thatcher biography and film screening 2019.7.23

04. *The Conscience of a Conservative* (Barry Goldwater) 2019.7.23

05. *The Road to Serfdom* (Hayek) 1st session 2019.5.21 / 5.28 / 6.18 // 2nd session 8.16 / 8.26 / 9.17 / 10.1 / 10.15 / 10.29 // 3rd session 11.16 /...

06. *The Vitality of Political Parties* (Jihyang Park) 2019.8.27 / 9.19

07. *Why Does Leftist Thinking Inspire Such Enthusiasm?* (Byeongho Kong) 2019.10.31

08. *The Spirit of Independence* (Syngman Rhee) 2019.11.25

Starting with the 3rd session of *The Road to Serfdom* and *The Spirit of Independence*, we have made the discussion contents public on YouTube.
