The Koch brothers exemplify the worst aspects of the American political system, and have been doing so for decades. Not only have they expended countless millions in corporate and dark money to support libertarian and other conservative politicians and organizations; they have also protected profits from their massive fossil fuel investments by supporting climate deniers for the past three decades.
Chris Leonard documented their reach and impact in his blockbuster bestseller,Kochland. The Washington Post called Kochland “compelling, and often scary, reading;” The New Yorker praised Leonard’s analysis of “the extraordinary behind-the-scenes influence that Charles and David Koch have exerted to cripple government action on climate change; and The New York Times deemed his work “Superb… Among the best books ever written about an American corporation.”
Leonard’s work has appeared in The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, and Bloomberg Businessweek.Kochland won the J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Award and is a finalist for the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year.
Mr. Leonard will stay afterwards to sign his book. Bring cash, check, or credit card if you wish to purchase a discounted copy for $30.
