DESCRIPTION:The Stanford Center for Law and History is pleased to announce 
 a book talk with John Fabian Witt\, Allen H. Duffy Class of 1960 Professor
  of Law at Yale\, who will present his new work\, The Radical Fund: How a 
 Band of Visionaries and a Million Dollars Upended America (Simon & Schuste
 r\, 2025)\, in conversation with Rob Reich\, McGregor-Girand Professor of 
 Social Ethics of Science and Technology at Stanford. \n\nRSVP here\n\nFrom
  Pulitzer Prize finalist John Fabian Witt comes the captivating secret his
 tory of an epic experiment to remake American democracy. Before the dark m
 oney of the Koch Brothers\, before the billions of the Ford Foundation\, t
 here was the Garland Fund. The men and women around the Fund believed that
  Amer­ican capitalism was broken\; that American democracy (if it had eve
 r existed) stole from those who had the least\; and that American institut
 ions needed to be radically remade for the modern age. A luminous testamen
 t to the power of visionary organizations and a meditation on the vexed ro
 le of money in American life\, The Radical Fund is a hopeful book for our 
 anxious\, angry age—an empowering road map for how people with heretical
  ideas can bring about audacious change.
