Democracy In Chains by Nancy MacLean - terrific expose of the Libertarian movement, yes, Kochs..

One review from NPR -

“This sixty-year campaign to make libertarianism mainstream and eventually take the government itself is at the heart of Democracy in Chains. . . . If you’re worried about what all this means for America’s future, you should be” – NPR

If you go to the link - you will have an opportunity to "look inside" - especially "xv1" where they want to privatize everything ...do away with Unions, cuts in public education etc etc....

So when you hear the republican party is crumbling..yep, moving towards their Libertarian agenda..This is where Rand Paul is coming from, among others Walker, tea party folk's(why don't they just change their party name to Libertarian)...

Be well
