The book looks at the various modes that social movements and ad people who try to make revolution in their societies. The criticism i have of the last ten, 15 years is that we've sort of over relied on social media. And so if a twitter or a facebook could be extremely helpful in getting out a narrative at this moment, rather than these quiet spaces,. can you explain this idea of the quiet spaces? Cause nothing's quiet these days. Nothing is quiet.
Kara and guest host Stephanie Ruhle discuss the latest developments in Ukraine, the Fed's plan to raise interest rates, and a new investigation of TikTok's effects on mental health. Plus, Friend of Pivot Gal Beckerman joins to discuss his new book, The Quiet Before: On The Unexpected Origins of Radical Ideas.
