Description
John Nichols’s Uprising traces the roots of this struggle—which has faced legislative disappointments, legal challenges, and dramatic electoral twists and turns—and within the process reveals how Scott Walker rose to national prominence and went on to develop into a frontrunner within the Republican race for the nomination in 2016. At a time when public services and products are under assault from corporate privatizers and billionaire political donors, the general public repudiation of Walker’s efforts (and the shadowy interests like the Koch Brothers at the back of them) has translated into a broader challenge to corporate The united states, Wall Street, the a ways Right, and its media echo chamber.
