Detroit

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series (non-fiction books) by James Morcan & Lance Morcan as well as the Underground Knowledge podcast show.

[close] Discovering the rust belt through literature with a focus on Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh and everywhere in between. Will include literature by authors from the rust belt as well as books about the rust belt.

[close] In my recently published book, 63 Alfred Street: Where Capitalism Failed, I trace the Rise and Fall of Detroit over the last 150 years through the eyes of a Victorian Gothic Ruin near the cities downtown. What started as a simple curiosity with a beautiful turret on one corner of this structure evolved into a roadmap to the decline of this industrial giant, once call the "arsenal of democracy," and maybe sheds some light on similar problems occurring throughout our American landscape. This group will explore some of the issues uncovered and elaborated on in my book.

[close] We read books together in Detroit.
