Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE. Demos co-founder David Callahan explores the rise of progressive political influence on Wall Street, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and elsewhere in his new book, Fortunes of Change: The Rise of the Liberal Rich and the Remaking of America (Wiley). "Reading Fortunes of Change is like finding the missing piece to a jigsaw puzzle. Sweeping economic changes are profoundly reshaping our politics—and not in ways we usually think. These shifts are reshaping the beliefs of the upper class and creating a new and very potent political force—the liberal wealthy elite. Callahan's must-read book provides a whole new perspective on our economy and political culture." - Richard Florida. $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m. or in advance via www.brownpapertickets.com (1-800-838-3006).
