TTT1808 February 19 Democracy in Chains author
If you ever wondered how the right-wing political movement became so powerful in the U.S., this program is for you. Nancy Maclean, professor of history and public policy at Duke University, discusses her highly acclaimed book, Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right’s Stealth Plan for America. The book is an explosive – and controversial — examination of the ideas behind the radical right’s relentless campaign to eliminate unions, suppress voting, privatize public education, stop action on climate change, and alter the Constitution. Maclean’s talk was originally presented at the East Side Freedom Library in November 2017.
