We’ve all been there. You could buy something random and a bit urgently. You hop within the automobile and drive to a close-by Walmart, or open your Amazon app and get a next-day delivery through Prime. Little doubt that these regular fixtures of our modern economy have brought convenience and expedience to our lives, but what are the tradeoffs that we aren’t considering? Kathryn Judge is the writer of Direct: The Rise of the Middleman Economy and the Power of Going to the Source. We discuss how “middlemen” became a part of our on a regular basis consumer lives and whether or not the way in which we shop necessarily lines up with our Catholic values.
In Signs of the Times, Zac and Ashley talk with Kevin Clarke, America’s chief correspondent, about what happened on the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ annual meeting in Baltimore.
