These writers want to create tangible community in our rapidly changing public sphere. In “The Quiet Before,” Gal Beckerman traces the origins of radical thought, arguing that today’s social movements, often mobilized online, wither and burn out. In “Direct,” Kathryn Judge investigates surprising ways that middlemen control our economy and argues for what she calls a return to “direct exchange.” Moderated by Sewell Chan.
