The Agora (formerly Agora, Inc.) is a Baltimore, Maryland-based network for over thirty companies in the publishing, information services, and real estate industries. Agora was founded in 1978, in the Mount Vernon neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland. The Agora Companies operate independently from cities around the world including London, Paris, Bonn, Melbourne, Johannesburg, Buenos Aires, and Waterford. Collectively, the network of companies publishes over 300 books and 120 newsletters.
Bill Bonner founded Agora in 1978. Agora began with one flagship publication in 1979, International Living. Throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, Agora expanded to include publishing subsidiaries, real estate holdings, and restaurants. By 2015, Agora's publications had over one million readers around the world.
In 2016, Agora, previously Agora, Inc., was reintroduced as The Agora, which represents a private network for companies that publish financial, heath, travel research, and analysis as well as special interest books and newsletters.
