- Summary
- "Invisible Hands is the story of how a small group of American businessmen succeeded in building a political movement and changing the world. Kim Phillips-Fein's meticulous research and narrative gifts reveal the dramatic story of a pragmatic, step-by-step, check-by-check campaign to promote an ideological revolution, one that ultimately propelled conservative ideas to electoral triumph. Invisible Hands is essential to understanding the role of big and small business in American politics - and a blueprint for anyone who wants insight into the way in which money has been used to create political change."--BOOK JACKET.
