“The Koch project has brought us to the worst political crisis in living memory,” says "Democracy in Chains" author Nancy MacLean. “My book helps them understand how we reached this point.” MacLean will discuss the roots of the “billionaire-backed radical right” tonight at the Shirlington Busboys and Poets (see Calendar), Tuesday at noon at the AFL-CIO and then at 6p Tuesday at the Takoma Busboys; both Busboys appearances are part of the Metro Washington Council's monthly Bread and Roses series. Books will be available at all appearances; click here for an interview with MacLean.
