โ€�A compelling and readable story of resistance to the new economic order.โ€�โ€”Boston Globe Invisible Hands tells the story of how a small group of American businessmen succeeded in building a political movement. Long before the โ€�culture warsโ€� of the 1960s sparked the Republican backlash against cultural liberalism, these high-powered individuals actively resisted New Deal economics and sought to educate and organize their peers. Kim Phillips-Fein recounts the little-known efforts of men such as W. C. Mullendore, Leonard Read, and Jasper Crane, drawing on meticulous research and narrative gifts to craft a compelling history of the role of big and small business in American politicsโ€”and a blueprint for anyone who wants insight into the way that money has been used to create political change. 16 black-and-white photos.
