Charts Tell a Story

Charts are designed to tell a story. It is important to determine whether the story is fact or fiction. In this study group, we will use the text Adrift: America in 100 Charts (Portfolio Penguin, 2022) by Scott Galloway as our source material. The author uses 100 charts to tell a story about America. We will review his 100 charts to understand his message and evaluate how fully and accurately the charts tell his story. Our approach will be to review, understand, and verify the information in the charts to evaluate the message presented. The approach in this study group is not the typical read and discuss format. It will involve more thorough evaluation of the material presented in the charts, consideration of alternative presentations, and other factors that could impact the data presented. Join us as we try a slightly different approach to group inquiry and discussion.
