Description
'[A] remarkably important book...this book is a superb contribution to our understanding of the rise of
libertarian notions and right-wing political power in the US. If you wonder how the Supreme Court came to
define speech as money or corporations as people, this volume will help you to figure it out...The melting ice
caps, if nothing else, stand as testament to the folly of listening mainly to the rich and powerful.'—
Bill McKibben, The Times Literary Supplement“Democracy in Chains leaves me with hope:
Perhaps as books like MacLeanâ€s continue to shine a light on important truths, Americans will begin to
realize they need to pay more attention and not succumb to the cynical view that known liars make the best
leaders.' —New York Times Book Review“A remarkable new book which argues that the radical
right revolution engineered by Charles and his brother David is not just about accruing political and
economic power, but about restricting democracy itself.― —The New Republic“[A] vibrant
intellectual history of the radical right . . . [MacLean] has dug deep into her material—not just
Buchananâ€s voluminous, unsorted papers, but other archives, too—and she has made powerful and
disturbing use of it all. . . . The behind-the-scenes days and works of Buchanan show how much deliberation
and persistence—in the face of formidable opposition—underlie the antigoverning politics ascendant
today. What we think of as dysfunction is the result of years of strategic effort.― —The Atlantic Â
“This sixty-year campaign to make libertarianism mainstream and eventually take the government itself
is at the heart of Democracy in Chains. . . . [MacLean] takes the time to meticulously trace how we got here.
. . . If you're worried about what all this means for America's future, you should be. . . . And if someone you
know isn't convinced, you have just the book to hand them.― —NPR 'Itâ€s the missing chapter: a key
to understanding the politics of the past half century. To read Nancy MacLeanâ€s new book, Democracy
in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Rightâ€s Stealth Plan for America, is to see what was
previously invisible.' —George Monbiot, The Guardian “[A] riveting, unsettling account of
'Tennessee country boy' James McGill Buchanan, key architect of today's radical right.― —O, The
Oprah Magazine“A remarkable book . . . Democracy in Chains is a revelation, as politics and as
history.― —Jacobin“Democracy in Chains should be read by every thinking person in the United
States. It is disturbing, revealing, and vitally important.― —NYJournalOfBooks.com'Perhaps the best
explanation to date of the roots of the political divide that threatens to irrevocably alter American
government.― —Booklist (starred review)“Itâ€s happening: the subversion of our democratic
system from within. How did the political Right do it? Nancy MacLean tells the long-overlooked story of
the political economist who developed the playbook for the Koch brothers. James McGill Buchanan
merged states rights†thinking with free market principles and helped to fashion the inherently elitist
ideology of todayâ€s Republican Party. Professor MacLeanâ€s meticulous research and shrewd

insights make this a must-read for all who believe in government ‘by the people.â€â€• —Nancy
Isenberg, author of White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America“This book is
mesmerizing. Rarely have I encountered a work that speaks to such significant issues, with evidence rooted
in conclusive new sources. In clear prose, MacLean reveals how a public once committed to social
responsibility and egalitarian values became persuaded that only an unregulated free market could protect
‘liberty†and ‘choice.†Because of this, our once cherished democracy is now subject to attack.
Everyone who wants to understand todayâ€s confrontational politics should read this important book,
now.― —Alice Kessler-Harris, author of In Pursuit of Equity: Women, Men and the Quest for
Economic Citizenship in Twentieth Century America“How did we get to where we are today? How did
corporations come to possess ‘rights?†How did democracy come to be defined as selfish
individualism? Or money as free speech? Nancy MacLeanâ€s Democracy in Chains provides the answers.
It is essential reading in order to understand the ideas that billionaires use to justify their control of our
political institutions. I canâ€t imagine a more timely or urgent book.― —Greg Grandin,author of
Fordlandia(finalist for the Pulitzer Prize) andThe Empire of Necessity(winner of the Bancroft Prize)
'[MacLean] creates a chilling portrait of an arrogant, uncompromising, and unforgiving man . . . [she] offers
a cogent yet disturb
