Today, we tend to think of economic and racial egalitarianism as closely yoked causes. One hundred years ago, this was far from the case. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many of those Americans most skeptical of corporate power were also the most hostile to racial equality, while those Americans who most adamantly rejected economic reform hoped to mobilize racial minorities as allies.

The internet is a network of networks. Internet exchanges are the portals where lots of those networks are linked to each other; switches connect devices within these networks. As the internet has grown, exchanges and their switches have become more numerous and vastly more impressive, allowing levels of performance that would have been unthinkable using old technology.
