Additionally, the company's publishing businesses span 15 countries - a large company indeed.Īnd besides Baltimore, in the US they also have some of their publishing businesses listed in Delray Beach, Florida, (Palm Beach Research, Rogue Economics, Casey Research, etc.) as well as some listed in Frederick, Maryland (New Market Health, etc.). They have since relocated to Baltimore and in 2016 the publishing giant purchased a five-story office building on Charles Street, which was its 12th building in the Mount Vernon-Belvedere area.įun fact: Bill Bonner is said to be an "ardent preservationist" and had the building restored while keeping its old style.īut this is just The Agora's presence in the US. Since then the company has grown exponentially. Bonner created it with the goal of publishing information that wasn't being covered by the mainstream media, its first newsletter service being International Living which published about working, investing, and retiring overseas (this newsletter service actually still exists). It started out in Washington DC as a small publishing company.

The Agora was founded by Bill Bonner in 1978. Is The Agora's new name of Monument & Cathedral Holdings (M&C) another way to separate the company from its past? Could be. I found a review of their Money Map Press company on Pissed Consumer that has realized this as well. they stay the same but their names come and go. The Agora companies seem to be pretty fluid. There are other examples as well, but you get the point. Was it to avoid the unfavorable reputation this long-standing company held?.


What Wikipedia also tells us is that there are more than thirty companies under their umbrella. In more understandable terms, The Agora is a network of investment publishing and health publishing/supplement companies that markets investment newsletter services as well as health newsletters and supplements. The structure of the company is a bit complex, but in a nutshell they are a network of many smaller companies "in the publishing, information services, and real-estate industries" - according to Wikipedia. Monument & Cathedral Holdings (M&C) has received quite a lot of backlash from consumers, which explains the low ratings of their affiliated companies on websites like Trustpilot and the BBB. The Agora, Agora Inc, or one of the company's newest names. What we're talking about here, of course, is the company behind the many investment newsletter services out there, as well as alternative health products. We're not talking about the political and social gathering places of ancient Greece, which is where the word "agora" originally came from.
