YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

As Republicans attempt to revive a bill to overturn Obamacare, we look at the radical right’s attempt to reshape the role of the federal governmentfrom healthcare to education to housing. We speak with Duke University historian Nancy MacLean, author of the new book, "Democracy in ChainsThe Deep History of the Radical Right’s Stealth Plan for America." MacLean also uncovers the instrumental role the late libertarian economist James Buchanan played in the right’s campaign to eliminate unions, suppress voting and privatize schools.
