| 520 | |a Jonathan Beecher Field tracks the permutations of the town hall meeting from its original context as a form of democratic community governance in New England into a format for presidential debates and a staple of corporate governance.

Urgently, Field notes that though this evolution might be apparent, evidence suggests many US citizens don't care to differentiate. | ||
