    <body><![CDATA[I think it could have been organized differently to make it clearer -- at times the thesis seems buried in the accretion of details about Wal-Mart newsletters from the 70s, free enterprise student clubs, etc. But overall a very interesting piece of historical work about how certain ideological and religious tendencies combined with a particular regional culture to change the economic and political culture of the entire country. Recommended to anyone interested in how we got to where we are now.<br/><br/>And quite a little surprise at the end when the author name-checks Donna Steele, an IP and 1199 member! Seems she read the George Packer article in the New Yorker last fall that profiled Donna ( <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/10/13/081013fa_fact_packer" title="http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/10/13/081013fa_fact_packer">http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/...</a> ). ]]></body>
