Author: Nancy MacLean
An explosive exposé of the man who devoted his career to shackling democracy — and succeeded. — Libertarian billionaires are using their wealth and power to drastically curtail the US democratic process, disempowering ordinary citizens whilst entrenching the influence of corporations as never before. In Demo...  more », award-winning historian Nancy MacLean reveals how the ideas of Nobel Prize-winning political economist James McGill Buchanan have been used to undermine the power of voters in a country whose Constitution is founded on the principle ‘We the people’.

Now, with Mike Pence as Vice President, this chilling movement has a loyalist in the White House, as well as supporters in the House, the Senate, a majority of state governments, and the courts. Democracy in Chains is a timely, important book, which should be read by anybody interested in the future of democracy.

An excellent history of the conservative right, and how they got to be there. It goes back almost to the beginning of the Country.
Its a battle of those that think there should be no rules that infringe on a persons rights, including government, and those that believe in the New Deal, where the government steps in to help those in need.
