Thomas Frank, author of the prescient book, What's the Matter with Kansas? How Conservatives Won the Heart of America will explore the great cultural backlash in "middle America" that has enabled conservatives to run and win on social issues. Why do working class voters now vote against their own economic interests? How can the progressive movement reach across this divide and reconnect with those who should be our allies? What role will philanthropy play?
