“对右翼为消灭工会、压制投票、将公共教育私有化以及修改宪法而发起的不懈运动的重磅揭露。‘这或许是迄今为止对可能彻底改变美国政府的政治分裂根源的最佳阐释。’——Booklist（星级书评）。在当今亿万富翁掌控我们政府的新闻头条背后，隐藏着一个根基久远、深厚且令人不安的秘密政治建制派。资本主义激进右翼不仅致力于改变执政者人选，更意在从根本上重塑民主治理的规则。但……

……文明社会、民主和法治凝聚了进步主义者和政府几个世纪的努力。自由意志主义者几十年的宣传在政府和人民之间人为划出了一条鸿沟。参见 Nancy Maclean 的《Democracy in Chains》。在民主体制下，政府就是你自己，它的存在是为了保护你和其他所有人的利益，这就是民主和法治的意义。也是它保障了一个多少还算文明的……
…civilized society, democracy and rule of law took centuries of work by progressives and government. Decades of propaganda by libertarians has set up an artificial divide between government and people. See 'Democracy in Chains' by Nancy Maclean. The government is you in a democracy, it's there to protect your and everyone else's interests, that what democracy and rule of law means. It's what guarantees a somewhat civilized…
……名录来系统性地拆解政府权力。我认为把科赫兄弟与各大基金会和实体之间的关联，以及他们如何与该理念挂钩梳理得最清楚的，就是 Nancy MacLean 写的《Democracy in Chains》这本书。这本书并非没有争议，但大部分批评恰恰来自书中批判的同一个实体网络。https://www.chronicle.com/article/A-New-History-of-the-Right...…
…directory to systematically disassemble the power of government. I think the best assembly of linkages between Koch and various foundations and entities and how they're linked the that philosophy is the book "Democracy in Chains", by Nancy MacLean. This book is not without controversy, but much of the criticism is generated from the very same network of entities that is criticized by the book. https://www.chronicle.com/article/A-New-History-of-the-Right...…
> 我们怎么就落到了如此严重缺乏问责机制的地步？去读读《Dark Money》（Mayer 著）和/或《Democracy in Chains》（MacLean 著），就能大致了解其中的原因和经过了。
> How did we end up with such a gross lack of accountability? Have a read of Dark Money (Mayer) and/or Democracy in Chains (MacLean) to get a picture of the why and how.
这不是巧合。这是共和党持续努力推翻新政时代以来大部分成果的回报。Nancy MacLean 的书《Democracy in Chains》对此解释得相当精彩。
This is no accident. It’s the GOP’s reward for consistent efforts to roll back most of the progress done since The New Deal era. Nancy MacLean’s book Democracy in Chains explains it splendidly.
……公民学。要想真正看清精英阶层的认知和民间理解之间的脱节，我不得不啃完了播客《Know Your Enemy》、5-4 的《How the Supreme Court Sucks》以及《Strict Scrutiny》。另外，《Democracy in Chains》和《Dark Money》这两本书帮我把很多线索串了起来。具体来说，就是支持种族隔离、反民权、反劳工的反动派与现代保守主义运动之间的关联。
…civics. To really see the disconnect between the elite and folk understandings, I had to chew thru the podcasts Know Your Enemy, 5-4 "How the Supreme Court Sucks", and Strict Scrutiny. Also, the books Democracy in Chains and Dark Money connected a lot of the dots for me. Specifically, the connection between pro segregation, anti-civil rights, anti-labor reactionaries and the modern movement conservatives.
> ……但它们并没有真正说服我。你到底需要什么程度的证据？《Democracy in Chains》的核心史料是经济学家 James Buchanan 智库的一批一手档案文件，而这批人正是这场反动运动战略的总设计师。从他们自己的言行来看，他们就是打算终结民主并……
