Don’t Miss Robert McChesney, ’77, Ph.D speaking about his new book, “Dollarocracy,” in Seattle, Olympia and Portland,

Evergreen’s own Robert McChesney and co-author John Nichols will make three stops in the Pacific Northwest to speak about their new book, “Dollarocracy: How the Money, and Media Election Complex is Destroying America.”

McChesney aficionados know Bob is one of the most widely read and honored communication scholars in the world today.

“Dollarocracy,” the latest publication by frequent co-authors Robert McChesney and John Nichols

Praise for Dollarocracy:
“The billionaires are buying our media and our elections. They’re spinning our democracy into a dollarocracy. John Nichols and Bob McChesney expose the culprits who steered America into the quagmire of big money and provide us with the tools to free ourselves and our republic from the corporate kleptocrats.”
(Lisa Graves, Executive Director, Center for Media and Democracy)
