John Whitlow: Coming of Age at the End of History

In his essay “Coming of Age at the End of History,” Prof. John Whitlow adds to Law and Political Economy Blog‘s series on Social Movements & Activism by sharing his story of becoming a community lawyer in the early 2000s, when our political possibilities were more limited than they are now. Arguing that we find ourselves in a moment of societal change, we must embrace a radical overhaul of the market economy’s relationship to society, “with the former subjected, democratically, to the latter.”
