Leonard weaves an epic tale of brilliance, philosophical intransigence, greed and ruthlessness. Kochland is told through the lens of Koch Industries whose “annual revenue is larger than that of Facebook, Goldman Sachs, and US Steel combined.” It is an economic history of America since 1967 that shows the deep changes in our economy that have given rise to a new kind of capitalism. His first book, The Meat Racket The Secret Takeover of America’s Food Business received rave reviews however, Kochland is uniquely special. Kochland The Secret History of Koch Industries and Corporate Power in America is the second book by former agribusiness reporter for the Associated Press, Christopher Leonard. This may be the finest book thus far in the twenty-first century.
