- “Chain Reaction: The Impact of Race, Rights and Taxes on American Politics” – This is a 26 year old book that could have been written on November 8th, 2017. Its insights are stunningly up to date, direct, and deep.

It provides great insight into the language of populism developed by conservatives around the underclass, rights and taxes. It also provides some “lessons learned” about how not to create a center-based coalition, such as relying on the Supreme Court for implementation of policy.
