RadicalxChange Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2018 by economist Glen Weyl in the wake of <a href="https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691196060/radical-markets"><i>Radical Markets</i></a>, and now the home of the movement that <a href="https://plurality.net/"><i>Plurality</i></a> extended.</p></div> <div class="aside">RadicalxChange is both a Foundation and a global community.
